The aim is to provide customers with the necessary information to guide them effectively on the new pricing and product options.

[Audio] Discuss different types of vision correction lenses available: single vision, progressive, and bi-focal. Single vision lenses are designed for reading, distance or intermediate vision and have a fixed focus point without lines. Progressive lenses have distance, near and intermediate focal points in each lens without lines and provide a smooth transition between different distances. Bi-focal lenses include distance and reading RX in one lens with lines separating the RX. Executive bifocal lenses have a line going all the way across the lens but are rarely used by customers today. When selecting a focal type for vision correction, consider single vision, bi-focal or progressive lenses. These lenses offer a range of vision correction options and are designed to meet your individual needs..
[Audio] The three keys to correct pricing are: The first key is to confirm with the customer on the recommended focal type, sometimes a polycarbonate recommendation will involve a customer wanting N-V-O and D-V-O lenses instead of a polycarbonate set. The second key is to consider certain patients for polycarbonate lenses, including children under 18, sports uses, and any other protective need to ensure the safety of the eyes is paramount. The third key is to ensure that if additional coatings are added to vendor special order lenses, the appropriate color code is matched to the lens description (and/or universal white) to add to the lens cost for the full total amount due..
[Audio] We present the price increase in this document. The associated cost includes the AR or PhChrm if the lens description includes a plus AR or plus Transitions.

[Audio] Discuss the differences between single vision primary lens type and Progressive Addition Lenses (PALs). Single vision primary lens type is used by approximately 60-70% of individuals under the age of 40 and 30-40% of individuals over the age of 40. It offers simplified vision correction for one distance, typically less expensive, and easier to adapt to. However, single vision primary lens type requires multiple pairs of glasses for different tasks, such as reading and distance, which can be inconvenient. It is not suitable for presbyopia. In contrast, Progressive Addition Lenses (PALs) provide a seamless solution for multiple vision distances—near, intermediate, and far—making them ideal for individuals with presbyopia. They eliminate the need for multiple pairs of glasses, but come at a higher cost and can take some time to adjust to due to the gradual changes in lens power. Additionally, they may require more precise fitting..
[Audio] We created a table that shows the prices of the different SV lenses and CR-39 lenses. The prices of the SV lenses have increased from $65 to $250 for the new plastic PAL. The prices of the CR-39 lenses have also increased from $70.00 to $200.
