Warren, NJ-based Vision Associates Inc. Collaborates with 24 Additional Dispensaries in Banner Year for Optical Dispensary Management

Warren, New Jersey - NJ-based Vision Associates, Inc. (VAI), the country’s leading optical dispensary management and consulting firm, enjoyed a banner year with the oversight of 24 additional eyecare offices nationwide as the company continued to be at the forefront of the sector’s ongoing growth surge.

Over the past decade, the optical dispensary management (ODM) and consulting industry has seen double-digit percentage growth, with Vision Associates often outpacing that already-impressive rate of expansion.   Established in 1993, VAI has proactively extended its offerings to a wide range of comprehensive services that include inventory management; lab facility integration; feasibility studies; staffing and personnel management (training and supervision); internal marketing; third-party insurance; and point-of-sale software.

The rapid adoption of ODMs by the eyecare industry can be attributed to its two main advantages to practices - operational efficiency and increased profits.  Engaging firms such as Vision Associates can help a dispensary become a new or stronger source of revenue - even after the management consulting fee is factored.  This is accomplished by finding new efficiencies and cost savings that, when totaled, outweigh the ODM fee and general ODM operation expenditures. 

“Amid shifting patient demographics, evolving frame fashions and new industry technologies, optical dispensary management services have become both more valuable and more necessary than ever before,” said Joseph Casorio, co-Principal of Vision Associates, Inc.  “We help eye doctors and office managers focus on operating the main facet of their practices - namely, patient care - while we handle the day-to-day operations of the optical dispensary.  Without exception, there is under-leveraged profit waiting to emerge from an optical dispensary with the help of an ODM such as Vision Associates.”

Kurt Behrle, co-Principle of Vision Associates also noted, “In 2014, on average, every two weeks another optical dispensary retained our firm to manage their dispensary and improve their bottom line.  As a testament to the results our clients have achieved, this year we launched a series of print ads featuring real-life stories from eyecare professionals who have increased their profits and operational efficiency - while discovering more free time for their respective hobbies.”
