INVISION Staff Invision January 2019 Issue

“Awesome. Awesome work as always!” — William Chancellor, Eye Can See Eyewear, McDonough, GA
I enjoyed the subject matter greatly. This is one of the few issues I actually took home to take the time to carefully read, as the subject matter (Happiness/Joy) is something that I’ve been grappling with this year in particular. Unfortunately burn-out is very prevalent in our industry. Thank you for all that you do. I look forward to your publication every month. — Vlad Cordero, Focus Eye Care, Hackensack, NJ
Your magazine gets better and better. I look forward to each month’s issue more than any other industry publication. What makes Invision stand out is how it makes me feel as though it’s written with me in mind. — Mitch Kaufman, Marine Park Family Vision, Brooklyn, NY
Once again it was great! Always read it from cover to cover. It’s fun when we see something we’ve written printed in it. Or when my OD friends let me know we’re in there. — Jill Sweig, OD, Oyster Bay Optics, Oyster Bay, NY
Keep up the damn good work and I hope to meet some of you at an Expo one day. — Rick Rickgauer, Vision Associates, Girard, PA
I actually loved the last issue. I was in it and made copies of the article to have at the dispensing table for customers to read and they seem to very much enjoy it. — Julie Uram, Optical Oasis, Jupiter, FL
Love your magazine. Looking forward to my next half century in the optical field. — Texas L. Smith, OD, Dr. Texas L. Smith & Associates, Citrus Heights, CA

INVISION Staff

I loved that the most recent issue was dedicated to failure. Proof that taking a leap and failing is always better than not taking a risk. — Cynthia Sayers, OD, Eyeshop Optical Center, Lewis Center, OH
Love the articles, all fun to read and something to learn from each one. Thanks for all you do for the optical/optometric industry to keep the info fun and relevant at the same time! — Deb Jaeger, Eye Center of the Dakotas, Bismarck, ND
Failure is the way to realize your success. If you haven’t been at the bottom you’re not sure when you make it to the top! — Jennifer Leuzzi, Mill Creek Optical, Dansville, NY
I always enjoy the covers. Bethany Cassar, Complete Eye Health, Holland, MI
We’ve been working on our cash office and it’s been a crazy busy season there. I’ve got to catch up on surveys and the recent editions. Thanks for keeping the ball rolling…you guys continue to impress! — Blake Hutto, OD, Family Vision Care, Alma, GA
Mom and pop stores have a difficult time competing with chain stores and the internet, but there are still some of us that pride ourselves on great customer service which separates us from the others. — Becki Martin, Harrington Vision Center II, Florence, SC
I’ve worked in two polar opposite offices. One had 100+ appointments scheduled online per month, the other had “appointment requests” that the front desk had to call back to say weren’t available. I wonder why more offices don’t see the value in online scheduling? It’s so many less hours tied up on the phone! Carissa Dunphy. — Lake Stevens Vision Clinic, Lake Stevens, WA
