IOT and Younger Optics announce, “Work & Play”
IOT and Younger Optics are excited to announce their “Work & Play” Summer Promotion, designed to help Eye Care Professionals drive multi-pair sales and enhance customer loyalty during the summer months. The promotion, running from July through September, offers the perfect lenses for every moment of the day, combining the exceptional performance of Camber™ Steady Plus lenses with the added convenience of Endless Office lenses.
When ECPs order Camber Steady Plus lenses for their patients, they can offer a pair of Endless Office lenses in polycarbonate or plastic 1.50 absolutely free! This exciting offer allows patients to enjoy optimal visual clarity and comfort for both work-related tasks and leisure activities throughout the summer season.
How the Promotion Works
- Participating laboratories offer 1 pair of Endless Office lenses in polycarbonate or plastic 1.50 with the purchase of each Camber Steady Plus progressive lens.
- ECPs offer the lenses to customers at no additional charge and will benefit from the sale of a second frame and any lens add-ons.
- Patients receive a comprehensive visual solution tailored to their specific needs.
- This program is void where prohibited.
This summer promotion presents a unique opportunity for ECPs to differentiate themselves in the market and provide their customers with a comprehensive and value-driven solution. By offering two premium lens options in a single package, ECPs can build stronger relationships with their customers and increase their overall sales during the peak summer season.
“We are thrilled to introduce the ‘Work & Play’ Summer Promotion, which empowers ECPs to offer the perfect combination of lenses for a variety of activities throughout the summer months,” said Tina Lahti VP of Sales – Designs at IOT. “This promotion not only supports ECPs in growing their businesses but also ensures that their customers receive the best possible visual experience.”
To help ECPs communicate this exciting promotion to their customers, IOT America has developed a variety of marketing materials, including social media assets and ready-to-use flyers. These resources will enable ECPs to quickly and effectively spread the word about the “Work & Play” Summer Promotion and attract new customers.

HOYA Lens Efficacy, Customer Service, and Value Preferred Most by ECPs
Ophthalmic lens technology leader HOYA Vision Care North America announced new data from a recent survey1 among eye care professionals (ECPs). Based on their direct responses, independent practices perceive HOYA as a champion among the top lens manufacturers, with proven results in lens designs, AR treatments, and photochromic lenses compared to others in the industry.
The nationwide survey of over 800 independent eye care professionals spanned multiple business areas, including product satisfaction, customer service, manufacturing labs, loyalty program rewards, benefiting ECPs’ businesses, and patient satisfaction.
“In support of HOYA’s mission to improve life through vision, we must champion our customers while providing innovative lens technologies backed by superior customer service,” said Eduardo Martins, President of HOYA Vision Care, North America. “HOYA’s recent investments in numerous new lens technologies and exceptional lab services demonstrate our commitment and elevate our brand as a trusted partner. Further, our Visionary Alliance™ loyalty program supports customers as they navigate the current economy, and the rebates help them invest in their practice, reward staff, and deliver valuable savings to their patients.”
Key findings from the survey:
