General Information

Dr. Michael Toups  and Dr. Douglas Inns (Optometrists) are the founding members of Vision Trends. Their goal is to take the experience they have had with older business models and franchises and incorporate all the good that they have to offer while eliminating all the negatives in the old way of doing franchise agreements with an "Independent Licensing Agreement".

How is your cost of goods?

We think we can make them better. We will lower your cost of goods and make your practice more profitable.

How?

By having developed unique and special pricing concessions, rebates and or discounts with many of the major Optical and business vendors. We are able to pass those benefits on to our business associates.

The Benefits to you are:

1. 1. The ability to achieve discounts and savings that are either not offered, or as a large, as a group of Organized-Independent Optometrists.
2. 2. Our Annual Meeting brings you the latest savings from our best supporting vendors, with exciting venues. Fall 2010 is in San Diego with a hard rock theme.
3. 3. FREE CE in many major cities, supported by our vendors and available several times a year.
4. 4. FREE practice management and practice building meetings each year.

You will have the latest business information immediately.

We send out e-mails with great regularity, new pricing, new ideas, new business tips and new meetings including CE.
