VCI was developed for optometry, not opticianry.
It STILL is!
VCI put optometry on the map
MD vs OD fees years ago – ODs did it for less
Now at parity - Equal pay for equal service
VCI has forced the price of eyeglasses much
higher
To provide the discounts required, you have to mark
up your eyewear pretty high
Many offices use close-outs for this market
