San Clemente, CA. Oct, 2006- C&E Vision Services a leader in offering web technology to its members, has announced its new web based "BeyeRight" service which will assist its members in making more timely and informed frame purchasing decisions.

C&E is the first company to provide this valuable information to the optical industry.
C&E believes its independent eyecare professional frame data is the most comprehensive in the industry, since it has the largest database of frame purchases in the United States. "C&E is certainly making an impression. Providing this vital and timely information can truly assist the independent eye care professional," Alex Papadopoulos, Vice President of Sales for Rem Eyewear.
Steve Wagner, a principal of C&E Vision, said "Saving its members time and money are just part of the 21st century buying group. C&E has been creating many unique web based management tools for its members. It's really all about choice with us, from the choice of which buying group billing method to use or providing a vast selection of vendors and now helping to identify the current popular frames styles. We are empowering our members to make faster and more informed decisions."
Background:
C & E Vision located in San Clemente California, is one of the oldest and largest buying groups in the United States. C&E was established in 1982, at a time when the proliferation of large retail optical chains began to change the competitive landscape, as a resource for independent eye care practitioners to pool and enhance their purchasing power with major optical suppliers throughout the nation. C&E offers its members maximum discounts from over 170 of the eyecare industry's leading product and service vendors.
C&E Vision is the optical buying group of choice. C&E exclusively provides its members the choice of using two distinct billing methods. Professionals can choose between C&E's Classic billing program, which provides net discounts with no administrations fee or C&E's RewardsPlus billing program which provides full vendor discounts, early pay discounts, low administration fees and C&E's RewardsPlus volume rebate. No other buying group offers eye care professionals this choice.
C&E is committed to providing a host of innovative services that can serve as the basis for the success of the Independent Eyecare Professional (IEP). C&E's members' internet section provides the most advanced web services available from any optical buying group. C&E is the only optical buying group that offers vendor on-line invoices to assist professionals in their research and record keeping, check their current balance, open deferred vendor billings or to make a payment. Additionally, C&E's web account management is simplified by allowing the viewing of historical statements and payments.
C&E's offers its member a unique IEP Benchmark Analysis. The Benchmark Analysis is an internet based financial simulation tool which enables independent Eyecare professionals to quickly and simply benchmark many of the sales and operating aspects of their practice.
C&E's provides eyecare industry societies and associations with affinity programs to financially support both the organization and their member's annual dues. C&E is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and education through its continuing education programs and sponsorships.
