Clearly Essilor has thrown down the gauntlet here.
I have never purchased a Luxottica frame and I'm still going strong after 20 years as an independent.
As for progressives we do very well using Hoya lenses from VisionTech. We had a new client from a local OD's office in looking for new glasses (local OD didn't have anything she like). We were able to give her Hoya Mystyle ID lenses that are totally customized for the same price as her Physio lenses she's wearing currently. A custom product for the same price as a cookie cutter product. Hmmmmmmm.
Instead of selling Interview lenses, sell Hoya Tact or Seiko PC Wide.
There are a lot of great products out there and Essilor has given every ECP the best reason in the world to seek them out.
