yes, and yes. announced a few weeks ago.
Does anyone know if this will affect getting transitions on non essilor products. Like how crizal can only go on essilor products for instance
There's been some speculation that you wont be able to get it on Hoya or Zeiss products, but i don't think we'll know for a bit.
They aren't THAT stupid.
I agree, they aren't that stupid. It would start an anti-competition lawsuit to rival the breakup of Ma Bell and AT&T.
It's already known that the combination of Hoya or Zeiss lenses with Crizal is verboten. I assume that this is a deal that has been a long time in the making; I know Zeiss has their own photochromic and I speculate that other lens companies will follow suit.
I truly think they are. The Big E is already tightening the noose regarding EyeMed and Big E owned labs, it will be a slow boil and we are the (quasi) unsuspecting frog in the pot.

Next step is Younger, that's if it did not happen yet....
Listen to this one. "Million Dollar Man" is code word for Essilor.

Very soon Younger either be sold to Essilor or have no market share.....
Too bad I like Image, but if Naturals transitions are much cheaper, guess what....

Because I like serving my customers as an independent company.
