(PRESS RELEASE) SAN DIEGO, CA — Shamir announces its partnership with Vision Benefits of America, Inc. (VBA), a commercial group benefits organization, in the VBA/Shamir Pandemic Assistance Program.
To assist in-network ECPs who have endured more complicated operations over the past year, VBA and Shamir will distribute pandemic relief funds to those currently participating in the Shamir RCPV program, and those who have not yet enrolled in the RCPV program.
Shamir and VBA are dedicated to giving back to the ECP community. Shamir’s reputation for innovative products like Autograph Intelligence are only matched by their customer service. Every Shamir representative is personally committed to our customers’ vision, and to providing the best service and support to meet – and exceed – their expectations.
“Eye Care Professionals that are part of the VBA/Shamir Pandemic Assitance Program already understand the value of Shamir Designs. Through Shamir’s ReCreating Perfect Vision (RCPV) Rewards Program, Eye Care Professionals are further acknowledged for dispensing Shamir,” says Raanan Naftalovich, CEO and president of North America. “VBA and Shamir are contributing relief funds to help further progress ECPs practices, when qualifying criteria are met through RCPV. We are very excited about this collaborative program.”
As a nonprofit, VBA was founded by independent optometrists in the state of Pennsylvania to offer low-cost eyecare to Pennsylvania residents. VBA’s mission is to improve the human experience by utilizing innovative models of service, delivery and advocacy to reduce barriers to high-quality eyecare.
