Black Friday Give Away

November 19th, 2015 by Bill Heffner

Since Black Friday is coming up, we wanted to offer something to our customers. Since we couldn’t really just have a one-day sale, we decided to run something for a week. We’re giving away FREE AR demonstration units – a $200 value. To find out about the details, check our Facebook page.

papillon-demoUnit-Anti-Reflective-side

This ‘butterfly box’ demonstrates the difference between lenses with and without AR coating.

The unit demonstrates AR coating, polarization, and photochromic lenses, as well as having a mirror on top. The ‘butterfly box’ on the front allows you to show your patients the difference between lenses with and without AR coating, which should help increase your coating sales dramatically. You simply invite them to grab the butterfly with an included pair of tweezers, and *tink*, they hit the glass that they couldn’t see (since it was AR coated).

papillon-demoUnit-Photochromatic-Polarized-side

The unit also demonstrates photochromic (left) and polarized lenses.

On the reverse of the unit are kits for photochromic and polarization demonstrations. When an internal U.V. light is switched on, the lens on the left will darken to demonstrated photochromic lenses. This is not a specific brand of photochromic lenses, but is intended to give the patient an idea of what they will experience with that type of lens. On the right, the polarization demonstrator will allow your patient to see the difference between the provided tinted and polarized lenses. When you pull up the piece at the top of the polarization station, it causes a large amount of glare on the picture of the flowers. This is easily seen when the patient looks through tinted lenses. When they then try on the polarized pair, the glare seems to disappear, making the picture much clearer.

We have a limited supply available, so act quickly!
