The other aspect of this is that Essilor wants to compete with Opticians, they have bought Coastal, frames direct, and eyebuydirect and infact they even boasted about it in a magazine article. They are buying our locally owned labs and shutting them down, look at what they did to Balester Optical, they used to be good, now they aren't. The change was in ownership and management. Don't we have enough competition amongst ourselves without having to deal with our supplier trying to cut us out?
