I gave you +5 Klout the other day, check me out there, OK? I resisted giving Klout access to my FB page, but I see you have - are you recommending that now?

Another great post, Alan! Quick question - any idea of why a VERY sizable percentage of hits on my blogs are coming from the Ukraine recently? Seems more than a bit curious ...

Do you publish your patient-centric blog postings on Digg? If so, do you notice more hits?

These Danish designed frames

These Danish designed frames have an amazing amount of detail, but don't look "cluttered." They also offer the illusion of a wide temple, but without the vision obstruction. Get the whole story with photos on my blog.

I'm in the process of reading "Searchial Marketing", and even though I've read every one of your blog postings, I'm finding I'm dog-earing virtually every page to come back and follow up on a pearl.

Due to a recent change in

Due to a recent change in ownership, VSP declined to continue their relationship with us. It had been a bit over 30% of our practice. We are currently booked about 30 days out, but our hardware sales took a big hit. It has been about 7 months, and they are slowly recovering.

As we all know from Econ 101, people (generally) act in their own economic best interest, which means they will follow their insurance benefits. Having said that, it appears that more and more people are losing their coverage. We also hear patients say they will take their Rx to one of two very well known national big box stores with opticals, due to their very low prices. We have brought in specially priced packages from our lab, which helps us retain those patients.

Latest on Hoya MyStyle situation

As of 2/16/2011, reports I am hearing seem to indicate two things - 1) The non-adapt rate has been very low, 11mm corridors notwithstanding, and 2)they continue to find areas in the order process that are not performing up to expectations.

I still think that this is a great lens, but I am willing to wait until all the bugs are ironed out before I order more for my patients - unless I want an 11mm corridor.

In the meantime, read why I think this lens is worth waiting for at:

Need more proof that the Yellow Pages are going down? Read this article in the Huffington Post. A similar article mentions Seattle may also ban wholesale distribution of the Yellow Pages, and require those who want them to "opt-in". Not saying it's right or wrong, but l will say this just looks like more handwriting on the wall for this medium.
