Eye Center Boutique of Puerto Rico opened their eleventh location with a Q-2100 Digital Lens System and nanoCLEAR AR unit this April. “With ten very successful shops across the island, adding an ECB location at the busiest mall on the island was a goal.” The newest location, positioned in the tourist center of San Juan, continues to capitalize on their unique optical concept of selling high end handbags and accessories with prescription eyewear. A better way to cater to fashion conscious consumers with discerning taste.

Optical Dynamics is proud to have our technology as an integral  part of their business plan and looks forward to working with this amazing retail chain as they continue to grow.

Lynn Bohlender, Certified Lab Technician for Northwest Optometry in Englewood, OH has successfully been operating the Q-2100 Digital Lens System with nanoCLEAR AR for nearly fifteen years. As shared on the practice website, “Lynn is the behind the scene detailed technician who produces our accurate in-house ophthalmic lenses the doctors prescribe for the patient’s prescription.”

As one of the first optometry practices to add the in-office nanoCLEAR AR unit to their business, Lynn was pleased with its purchase. “I like how easy it is to put on the AR coating or hardcoat with nanoCLEAR AR unit,” shared Lynn. When we first added the technology to Dr. Studebaker’s practice we could only process scratch coating and applied it by hand. I appreciate the additional capabilities of the newest equipment,” he added.

According to the practice, “our in-office optical laboratory has the ability to produce many of our own ophthalmic lenses, including even more complex, progressive addition lenses, photochromic and even anti-reflective lenses. Emergency service for broken or lost lenses can usually be provided the same day if necessary.” Lynn likes the fact that that this technology gives him the capability of producing a lens for a patient in the shortest amount of time.

The team from Advanced EyeCare are avid users of the Q-2100 echnology. With two locations the doctor purchased the Q-2100 Digital Lens System and nanoCLEAR AR unit for his business in 2005.

The primary operator of the equipment proudly wears the lenses she made with the system. She has been running the system for a few years and in her words, “it’s the bomb!” When asked about the nanoCLEAR AR, the team shared their success rate with the product. “We have used some of the biggest AR names on the market and this is just as good if not better than the competition.”

As mentioned on the company website, they have a full in-house lab and full dispensary to provide control over quality of products and quick turn around time. The team at Advanced EyeCare is happy to have the technology on-site for improved optics, lens quality and delivery speed.

Eye Center Boutique, a franchise optical chain with locations in San Juan, Caguas, Bayamon, Montehiedra, Ponce, Humacao and Maguayo capitalize on just-in-time delivery of eyewear with their Q-2100 Digital Lens System.

New advertising material and store signage highlights their use of this in-store technology.

Optical Dynamics is proud to be a key part of the ECB business model.

Eye Mobile, Antigua, owned by Mr. Byron Andrews, offers high quality designer brand frames, lenses, contact lenses, and the leading technology in vision correction at competitive prices. Adding the Q-2100 in 2010 and the nanoCLEAR AR, Byron and his staff are thrilled to provide just-in-time delivery of eyeglass lenses to locals and tourists alike.

Central Optical Limited, Jamaica, owned by Dr. and Mr. Riley-Ricketts, is a high traffic location, booked months in advanced. Adding the Q-2100 with nanoCLEAR AR unit to their lab and they are very successful with onsite lens production.

Optica Select, in the Antilles, owned by Dr. Fredrich Davelaar, is an ophthalmology clinic with dispensary in the city of Curacao.  Purchasing a Q-2100 with CFL molds for their lab, they are a staunch supporter of the progressive designs and its benefit to their patients. They expect to add the nanoCLEAR AR unit to their practice in the coming months.

Other Q-2100 system users may be found on the islands of Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, and Barbados.

Many of Optical Dynamics lens products are well suited for warm tropical locations. The ultraSUN sunglass photochromic handles warm temperatures extremely well and is ideal for patients who spend a lot of time outdoors in sunny climates.  With our nanoCLEAR AR product, because of the way its processed, it is essentially impossible to induce craze in the AR stack. As a result, nanoCLEAR AR is damaged far less in boiling water and salt water tests than vacuum lenses, for a durable AR coating in coastal locations.

Steve B., optician and Q-2100 user in Arlington Heights, IL, shares stories of how the technology keeps his customers coming back, with the Q-2100 Digital Lens System they installed and purchased in 2008.

“A patient came back to our offices after taking his prescription to LensCrafters and asked how much progressive lenses with anti glare and photochromic would cost and how long it would take to get them. Well, not only was the patient shocked by our practice saving him over $200.00 on his pair of lenses due to our in-house manufacturing, he had his lenses in 2 hours instead of one to two weeks. I now have a patient for life.”

“I told a patient their sunSMART photo lenses with reflective free glare protection would be ready for them in a couple of hours. They said jokingly, OK, we will see you in a couple of weeks. When I called them that afternoon and said come on in and get your new glasses, they said they were never going back to their old time optical location, they just were beyond words. Another patient for life!”
