Transitions Signature 7 lenses made leaps and bounds over Transitions VI which launched a new era of photochromic lenses for patients to enjoy. Now the new Transitions Gen 8 is poised to revolutionize the industry once again!

(As of July 10th, 2019 Transitions Gen 8's first wave has launched, CLICK HERE to visit our recently updated blog post featuring the availability chart and more!)

Building off of the massive success of last years new Transitions 7 Style Colours and XtrActive Style Mirror options, your patients will now have the latest technology behind their new favorite pair of glasses.

Coupled with Essilor's Next Gen program that will help increase your optical sales through second pair purchases, 2019 can be your practice's best year yet!

Let's take a look at the roll out:

We all know the end of any year tends to be one of the busiest times for anyone in the optical industry. It can get a bit crazy between the holidays and patients trying to cash in their vision plans before they reset.

Now that has passed, many practices are seeing their lab bills in a new light and most likely thinking about how they can lower that bill so they can increase their bottom line without sacrificing the quality products that their patients have come to expect.

Just like your New Year's resolutions, there is no better time than the first of the year to take an objective look at what your current wholesale optical lab is doing for you and if there is any room for improvement.

Our myIcareLabs.com customer portal is your one stop shop for everything your practice needs to be able to run smoothly. This gives all of our customers direct access to everything you'll need for your account.

Built in-house by James Payne in 2008, the simple and friendly user interface gives you complete access to every benefit you receive by being part of the Icare family.

The myIcareLabs customer portal does more than just simply placing your orders. We've already covered how you can order stock lenses, print shipping labels, take care of lab credits, and easily find what you're looking for. 

How would you like the ability to track all of your jobs in progress or pull up completed jobs in on convenient location?

Trying to find the correct price or availability for your patient's lenses can be a real chore. IcareLabs knows less time trying to find what you need and what it costs, means more time you can focus on your patients.

 Two things are certain in life in the optical industry, taxes and warranties. While we can't help with the taxes, our 56+ years of experience have helped IcareLabs make your warranty and credit process as easy as possible.

With our credit form, you'll be able to easily ensure your account is credited properly.

In my previous blog posts I showed you how easy it is to order your stock lenses through our myIcareLabs customer portal. But what about checking out to receive your stock order?

One of our most praised functions in the myIcareLabs customer portal is the ability to easily order your stock lenses.

IcareLabs is committed to making sure your practice has the lenses you need, when you need them!

Ordering stock frames has never been easier thanks to IcareLab's easy to navigate myicarelabs.com customer portal.

We can offer your practice a wide variety of options that enable you to decrease the amount of time your patients are waiting for their new glasses.

As we have mentioned before, IcareLabs has been at this for 50 years now and has seen it all. We pride ourselves on finding solutions to problems and then implementing them.

One problem all labs and lab customers have experienced too often is input errors on phone and fax orders. As hard as we tried we could not come up with a phone or fax system that met our stringent accuracy standards.

So we created our state-of-the-art myIcareLabs online ordering portal:
