(PRESS RELEASE) RANCHO CORDOVA, CA — VSP Global announced it is partnering with industry leaders Carl Zeiss Vision and HOYA Vision Care to expand choice and flexibility for VSP network doctors participating in the VSP Global Premier Program. Starting July 1, 2021, in addition to VSP Optics products, purchases of eligible HOYA and ZEISS lenses and enhancements dispensed to VSP patients will count toward practices’ Premier Program lens target.
“To differentiate and compete, doctors have told us they want greater choice in partners who can support both the business and clinical sides of their practices,” said VSP Global Chief Network Officer Michelle Skinner. “We heard them loud and clear and could not be more excited to team up with Carl Zeiss Vision and HOYA Vision Care to deliver expanded choice, flexibility and value. We will continue to evolve the Premier Program and provide unparalleled opportunities and offers to those who choose to participate.”
To support the long-term success of network doctors, the Premier Program provides business-building benefits, increased patient traffic and profitability, career planning and robust staff training and education. During the past seven years, nearly 53 million patients chose a practice participating in the Premier Program for their eye care and eyewear needs. The program has delivered more than $15 billion in revenue to participating practices.
