Plastic Plus offers state-of-the-art lens technology from the industry’s leading designers, carrying trusted brands like IOT, Seiko, Rodenstock, Vandelay and Shaw Lens. “Our focus is to offer ECPs the best option for their patients in order to address their unique visual needs,” says Paul Faibish, Plastic Plus president. “We understand the importance of listening to a patient's concerns and not simply providing them with one brand solutions. We offer as many options as possible so that patients can truly see better.” In addition to offering superior lens technology, Plastic Plus' upcoming move to a new state-of- the-art manufacturing facility in January 2018 will more than double their production space and will introduce even more manufacturing technol- ogy with a higher level of precision and quality. The new lab will offer more automation including increased capacity in surfacing, edging, hard coating and AR coating. The company also stands out in the optical industry because they're independently owned and based in Canada, with all products made in Canada. “This means ECPs can feel better knowing that they are getting a higher quality product and any issues they have can be addressed quickly and efficiently with faster turnaround times,” says Faibish. “Any changes can be made same day and often shipped out next day. You can’t get that level of service from overseas work.” And Faibish notes that innovation isn’t just about technology, but also providing new and improved service and product selection. Plastic Plus was the first in North America to adapt free-form technol- ogy for their lenses and continues to work with lens design partners to offer industry-leading products. “We are not limited to one company’s set of designs as we source expert lens technology from all over the world,” he says. Their lens coating options, like the Plastic Plus Elite Coating, offers improved scratch resistance and is thermally cured for a higher consistency front to back, while the UV420 technology protects wearers from blue light and distinguishes itself from other similar products by absorbing harm- ful light, rather than reflecting it, with no residual colour. “ECPs understand the importance of accuracy and Plastic Plus continues to offer the latest industry leading technology,” says Faibish. Alternative & Plan “B” Eyewear are founded on the principles of strong design and rooted in technological advancement. “We have always focused on providing new, interesting and problem solving technology to ECP’s in the North American marketplace,” says Alternative and Plan B's Cassandra Slepian.
