I find it convenient that this is supposed to be unbiased. I have been a licensed optician for over 20 years and I go by what my patient reactions are my redo rate and performance rate. I dont think Unity lenses are bad but they are not the best eiather. Vsp wants to monopolize and control everything. VSP CHOICE IS NO CHOISE. AMERICAN I THINK NOT. NO FREEDOM NO CHOICE!!!!!!!! THIS ADVERTISEMENT WAS A MARKETING TOOL NOT FACTS. Every Lens company say their lenses are the best.

I am sorry to see VSP shift to the arm twisting marketing technique. Even if it was the best product, it does not feel good. We had the opinion that VSP was one of the best options for our patients. You have forced us to honestly explain that you are deciding for them what options they should choose. They will be better served seeking other alternatives. I understand your numbers. Can you understand that your VSP One labs leave a bad taste in our mouths. The service is not the same as we receive elsewhere. The quality is not the same. I have shared specifics with our rep. It has not improved the situation. We will miss the days when you aided us in doing our jobs well. I understand that we are a dying breed that still make business decisions based on the best interests of our patients. We are just disappointed that VSP decided to change their model.

We have found the Unity product to be our most accepted progressive lens to date. We have had less issues with this product than any other progressive we have ever tried. The product is excellent and is our go to lens of choice not only for quality but for our own profit.

I wish the panel doctors could understand the mechanics behind these changes. Ultimately Luxottica and VSP will dominate this market.

VSP has done everything they can to maximize our reimbursement but one had to understand how to access this. By purchasing and controlling the supply chain, VSP was able to glean off profits from these profit centers to give back to the member doctors. All the member doctors had to do is utilize these products.

Our muti-doctor practice saw a $250,000 increase in net profits when we did this as compared to the year before.This was in addition to increased patient volume. Our patients also did not spend a dime more than they would have for similar product from other lens manufacturers. No other insurance program did this for us during that time.

Sadly most doctors just look at their exam fee reimbursement to see if they are making more money. When that is stagnant they feel like they are making less. If they would only look at the bigger picture they would see that VSP has a winning battle plan to expand coverage to more businesses and increase the member doctor's revenue if only the member doctors learn how to utilize this strategy.

Remember, VSP has to sell their plans to HR directors and they want to see lower cost. At least VSP is making us better than whole by their method of paying us. No one else is or will.
