Why InD Eyewear?

InD Eyewear, PECAA’s exclusive private label eyewear brand, was developed for two primary reasons. First, to help their independent members better compete. Second to help members fight inflation.

In today’s highly competitive optical industry Member practices are under attack from many different forces like managed care, corporate optometry, and private equity. Growing profitability is challenging. Over the past 10 years, ECP’s capture rates have been declining – reportedly now less than 50%. This means one out of every two patients are not buying their eyewear from the practice where they get their eye examined.

Inflation is at a 40-year high. Members have to increase their net income by over 8% just to stay even with the impact of INFLATION. Doing more of the same is not an inflation fighting strategy. It’s time to transform your optical approach.

InD Eyewear is a private label, factory direct program. PECAA Members benefit because:

• Exclusive to PECAA Members
• High quality, differentiating frame line
• 70 – 80% cost-of-goods savings
• Listed in Frames Data/Facts & VSP catalog
• Can’t be shopped online
• No shipping costs
• One-year manufacture warranty

“I have always thought about having my own line of eyewear. This program just makes it really easy through PECAA. The frames have been really good and the quality has been on par with all of the other brands in that price range. Patients have actually been choosing these over the other ones we offer, and they are really liking the price they are offered at. Many are not paying a ton out of pocket or even needing to use their insurance.”
