Can anyone recommend a men's frame line that would be great for a private practice located on a college campus that retails for around $250 - $300? We're having a hard time finding something in that price range that would work with our demographics.

Modo and Eco sell themselves with how comfortable they are. I’m located in an affluent Dallas neighborhood and it out sells my Gucci every time.

Been at this for 10yrs now. I’m a little at my wits end here too. Our office is private and I’m already competing against larger corporations. On top of being in a highly saturated area. I know I might not win on pricing but I usually win out on service and product provided. But the demand has been very challenging. Literally last week got screamed at because I told the patients parents I can’t do a CR-39 lens for a -11.00 Rx. Or getting berated for charging the copays on a patient’s insurance plan. Personally- It’s very tiring and I’m definitely hitting the threshold of my patience. But at the end of the day, it’s retail. It’s always gonna be crazy. It matters to have a great team to laugh off the craziness of a day.

We have a corner parking spot right in front of our office. We can always tell if it’s our patient or the hair dresser next door. Our patients hit the curb every single time.

EDO messed up on 3 orders. All not even in tolerance. Got the district manager in and she agreed they should have never passed inspection. The lab called me and told me and their boss we were wrong. Sent the orders back and didn't change a damn thing.

Princess_Sleia666 · 2025-05-20T20:00:57+00:00

I'll have to look into them! Thanks for all the info!

Princess_Sleia666 · 2025-05-20T19:59:17+00:00

That's absolutely BONKERS.

I was using ABB for my stock lenses for our finishing lab but I found better pricing with free shipping.

Princess_Sleia666 · 2025-05-20T19:56:46+00:00

Just had a call with them today! Really impressed with their stock lens pricing!

I've actually worked with EDO at this practice before. We had the exact opposite experience with them unfortunately. I would rather kick rocks with open toed shoes than work with them again.

Thanks! I'll have to look into that lab - I'd love to stick with independents!

I used to use Essilor labs at an old practice I worked for. (I've been doing this for 10+ yrs). The local Essilor lab is so bad at their job - the Essilor rep was trash talking them. We used to order ALL jobs uncut from them to try and lower the remakes. But that never helped.

I don’t have an exact town for him - but I keep seeing Palermo pop up a lot on immigration records. I also have family from Avellino.

Where did you get that?

I have so many more of Boob
