    Contact-lens magnates recognize a dual-segmented product space – private practice (i.e., doctor/ophthalmologist supply) versus retail (i.e., health + beauty, pharmacy). Lost/broken lens replacement (constituting ~30% of sales) and lens supply products (roughly $50 per wearer per year) comprise strong subsidiary markets. In stark contrast to larger players’ generalist/mass-market offerings, Sof-Optics strives to differentiate itself as a higher-quality (often custom-fabricated) product supplier. This approach has borne some fruit; Sof-Optics lenses are widely perceived as having quality and standards superior to their Bausch + Lomb counterparts, granting Sof-Optics preferential reception in the specialty (doctor/ophthalmologist) lens segment.…

    Dr. Mark Everett, clinic coordinator and optometric physician (OP) of the Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI) office in Spokane, Washington, looked at the ad that Vancouver, Canada-based Lexington Laser Vision (LLV) had been running in the Spokane papers and shook his head. This was not the first ad nor the only clinic advertising low-priced LASIK eye surgeries. Dr. Everett just could not believe that doctors would advertise and sell laser eye surgery based on low price as if it were a stereo or a used car. The fact that they were advertising based on price was bad enough, but the price they were promoting–$900 for both eyes–was ridiculous. PCLI and its cooperating optometric physicians would not even cover their variable cost if they performed the surgery at that price. A typical PCLI customer paid between $1,750 and $2,000 per eye for corrective laser surgery. Although Dr. Everett knew that firms in Canada had several inherent cost advantages, including a favorable exchange rate and regulatory environment, he could not understand how they could undercut PCLI's price so much without compromising service quality.…

    Doug and Mary Perkins are a couple of far-sighted optometrists who seized the opportunity to change the optical care industry in 1984. In 1984 Margaret Thatcher's government loosened regulation of the professions, including opticians. When before opticians had been banned from advertising products and services, now they were allowed to do. (Dibb and Simkin, 2012 p 51) “We were the first to advertise, have showrooms and let people know what our prices were. Buying glasses then was quite expensive so people were not visiting opticians. There is a health aspect as well, so we wanted to get people to visit opticians on a regular basis and provide more choice at affordable prices for everyone” (Hanson, 2009).…
