• I think last month was less notable for our usual highest performers than for the huge uptick in several lower categories: Nano Vista frames for the back-to-school crowd; SD Eyes‘ budget-friendly Port Royale/Durango frames, which are a perfect fit for the DME post-cataract frame allowance; and our Value Packages. All three of those categories were up double their normal volume, which is easy to explain: back-to-school; our typical summer surge in cataract surgeries since everyone tries to get their eyes done before snow and ice hit the roads again; and continued economic instability driving budget options upwards.
