- I would love to see our industry stop servicing eyewear that is purchased online. Clients and patients must learn the value of the cost of having a professional fit and fabricate their eyeglasses. Kate Giroux, MacPherson Opticians, Arlington, VA
- I’m becoming obsessed with the new technology, specifically the technology based apps for taking measurements from a selfie. From what I’ve read the accuracy is amazing. This, more than anything, can change the online eyeglass industry. Rick Rickgauer, Vision Associates, Girard, PA

- Scleral lenses – what’s up w/ this increasing popularity? Bruce Krymow, Optivision, Phoenix, AZ
