In February, 2010, I added the Q-2100 and nanoCLEAR AR unit to my practice, Eyeland Vision in El Paso, TX . For years I ordered lenses from an outside laboratory, but began investigating options to speed up the process of returning finished eyewear to my patients. I considered adding a surfacing lab, but it was complicated, expensive, with high maintenance, and didn’t address AR. I wanted to control the service level I could provide while at the same time control the quality of the lenses I dispensed. With the purchase of the Q-2100 technology I now do both. I provide just-in-time delivery of lenses with or without anti reflective coating and the digital lenses I produce are optically pristine and superior to traditionally surfaced lenses.

With the installation of this technology I was also able to control my cost of goods for the first time. The return on investment was almost immediate with our typical lab bill cut not long after installation. I can produce progressive lenses that stand out in design and durability while improving my bottom line. Most importantly, my patients are extremely pleased with the delivery speed and optics of their new eyeglasses and we are pleased with their repeat business.

The EyeDcotors in Manhattan, KS has been utilizing the Q-2100 Digital Lens System with nanoCLEAR AR since 2005.

According to the operator, “The lens fabrication system is a wonderful addition to our practice. It makes it possible to make a high quality lens without having to involve another lab. I like the new non-glare product as well; we have had numerous patients comment that this is the best coating they have ever had. The system is perfect for making a satisfied patient every time and a lens that lasts as long, if not longer, than the lenses from our partnering labs.”

When asked how this technology has impacted the practice she replied, “It has transformed our practice because of the capabilities of not having to rely on others to make our lenses. We are able to create a high quality lens in our practice, on the same day for our patients. Because we are located close to a military base, we frequently have to do jobs for patients quickly. Unfortunately, on several occasions our labs have not been able to accommodate this so we turn to the Q-2100 to make our patients happy. The ability to keep our patients happy is key with our practice and without a doubt the Q-2100  has certainly helped to accomplish this.”

The Optical Dynamics’ team was happy to celebrate with members of our user family at this years Vision Expo West. In addition to meeting clients and prospects on the showfloor we were privileged to host customers for dinners at famed Las Vegas eateries SUSHISAMBA and Carmines.  At Optical Dynamics we are lucky to have such wonderful and fun customers we call friends to spend time and celebrate with at our optical shows!

We look forward to spending time with our customer family at Vision Expo East!

Eyeland Vision, a Vision Trends member location, purchased the in-office system for the practice in 2010. Jack Rosales, lab manager, has been running the equipment since installation and Ivonne Rocha, Optician, has been dispensing the lenses for more than a year.

“I love the fact that I can get glasses ready for patients fast,” said Jack. “The lenses are great and patients adapt easily to the designs,” he added. According to Jack, “A patient came in complaining about progressives in the past. I told him about how much easier it was to adapt this progressive and the patient acknowledged and bought a pair. The Patient picked up glasses next day and he was very pleased. He has recommended a lot of patients to us. “

Ivonne shares, “A patient came in with broken glasses. He went to several optical locations but he had to wait about a week to get glasses made with anti glare and photo. He called here and we told him he could have them in an hour and a half. The patient was very happy and will be coming here for his glasses from now on!”

In January. 2000 I purchased the Q-2100 Digital Lens System and can honestly say its one of the nicest piece of practice enhancement technology I have seen in my 30 years in the industry. I am extremely impressed with the digital lenses the system produces and so are my patients. Over the past couple years I have personally worn some of the “best” custom made progressive lenses available and the optics of the digital lenses from the Q-2100 are as good, if not better than seen with other lens manufacture’s designs.

In 2005, I added the in office nanoCLEAR AR unit to my system configuration. The possibility of producing AR lenses in house in under 90 minutes was very appealing to us. We needed to improve delivery time and affordability to better compete. I have sold thousands of anti-reflective lenses through my practice and the AR applied with this unit is very durable and easy to clean. The lenses are easily drillable and fit the needs of the majority of patients. By producing digital lenses in office quickly and at a fraction of the cost as from a traditional lab, my practice profitability has increased and my patient satisfaction is greater than ever before.
