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!

IcareLabs and Signet Armorlite can provide your practice with the blue light protection even patients without prescriptions are asking about!

Essilor's Ultimate Lens Package has been extended until the end of this year and IcareLabs wants to help you provide your patients with a second pair they will love. We can also help your bottom line to boot!

The Transitions Style Mirrors have just been released and are already making waves in the optical industry!

Patients already wearing Transitions technology and younger patients just finding out about the benefits of photochromatic lenses agree that Style Mirrors are a game changer.

Known in the industry for phenomenal designs, Shamir's Autograph series can provide your practice with versatile progressive lenses that can accommodate almost any presbyope.

Transitions 7 has launched 4 brand new color variations! The new Transition Style Colors are available in most Single Vision and Freeform Digital Progressive lenses currently on the market.

At this point: CR39 (plastic), polycarbonate, and high index 1.67 materials are available!

What are these new colors you ask? Good question!

In 2004, Essilor introduced the Varilux Physio to the world with the original W.A.V.E. technology that featured wider fields of vision than the Comfort, while also reducing visual distortion and "swim".

This progressive lens was a game-changer for low-light conditions, helping millions of patients see better; even when it's darker out.
