VisionWeb Unveils 2005 “Lab of the Year” Awards

Austin, TX – November 17, 2005 – VisionWeb, a leading provider of technology services to the optical industry, announced today that it is honoring three of its laboratory partners as 2005’s “Lab of the Year” winners.

The VisionWeb “Lab of the Year” program, new this year, is designed to encourage and reward labs that have shown exemplary results growing and maintaining customer loyalty using VisionWeb.

This year’s honorees are Nova Optical, Orangeburg, NY; Cherry Optical, Melvindale, MI; and Twin City Optical, Minneapolis, MN.

“VisionWeb is fortunate to have the most forward-thinking Optical Laboratories in the industry as part of our growing network,” commented Ron Barnes, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for VisionWeb. “Our honorees have embraced VisionWeb as a tool to improve service and increase lab efficiency.”

A set of measurement criteria were developed to determine the Labs to be honored with this award. These criteria measured each Lab’s ability to migrate their customers’ orders to VisionWeb from the phone, fax, or other methods, and to retain and grow their customers’ VisionWeb usage. The calculations took overall lab volume into account, in order to ensure a level playing field for labs of all sizes.

VisionWeb “Lab of the Year” winners will be featured in a special section of the VisionWeb site, and will receive an honorary plaque commemorating their recognition. For more information, please visit www.visionweb.com.

Labs interested in becoming a supplier on VisionWeb should contact Juanita McLeod, Director of Business Development, at (904) 443-1145.
