IcareLabs Blog

As a wholesale optical lab, we do not wake up in the morning hoping we can create issues for you and your patients. It is actually the exact opposite. We love the fact that by partnering with you and your practice, we're able to provide your patients with the best vision possible.

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!

Crizal anti-reflective coatings can provide your patients with numerous reasons to return to your practice over and over again.

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:

Throughout my day, I am asked many questions here at IcareLabs. The one question that I seem to be getting more often is about fixed corridor progressives and how they compare with variable corridor in digital designs. When is one better than the other and what are the advantages of both?

I hope to answer that for you today.

Getting the most bang for your buck is usually a good idea, but when it comes to your optical dispensary how do you do that without sacrificing the things your patients have come to expect from you such as, high quality or fast turnaround time?

The most obvious answer is to get the best price on your lenses and services. Even if you're receiving great pricing, you may still be leaving money on the dispensing table.

One question we are often asked by new customers is how does your shipping work? 

IcareLabs was one of the first wholesale optical labs in the country to provide inter-state shipping.

With over 50 years of experience, we've learned that our customers know what's best for their business and patients.

That's why when it comes to shipping we give you control.

Did you know there are over 3 million active scuba divers and 11 million active snorkelers currently in the USA right now?

Many of them need prescription dive masks to properly see, but are used to having to settle with uncorrected vision underwater.

What does this mean for your practice?

IcareLabs is proud to announce we are now one of the select few labs in the country that is able to process Crizal Sapphire® 360 UV in-house!
