NEW VISION PLAN

We have signed up with a vision plan called "Vision Care Direct". Starting Monday we will be able to give a promotional code that our patients will be able to sign up with. This is exciting because we have so many self-pay patients and other patients who are dissatisfied with their current employer-provided plans.

This plan allows them to choose between materials only, exam only, or exam and materials plans. It also allows choices within each plan for people who want premium products vs. value products.

There are individual plans and family plans. There are also group plans available for small businesses that want to offer this as a benefit to their employees.

We think this will be a huge service for our patients. Hopefully this week we'll be offering the plan from our web page.

SLOW FALL

This has been a much slower fall than last year for the optical industry. In conversations with lab personnel, labs are producing half of what they usually produce. We are guessing it has something to do with the election.
