Dr. Donald R. Glenz
established Today's Vision in 1984 in Houston, Texas. The early
80's marked a time of general economic turmoil for
Houston. In addition to that, corporately owned optical
superstores were popping up throughout the state, and
the fragmented independent optometrists found themselves
being squeezed. Superstores, by their sheer size, were
attractive because of their promotion power and fast
service.
On the other hand, independent operations had the
personalized eye care service but lacked buying power to compete
on pricing frames, contacts, and eyewear. Dr. Glenz felt the time was right to launch
independently owned offices working together to combine
the best attributes of both worlds. His brainchild,
Today's Vision, took the middle road to consumer
preference, focusing on precision, speed, price and
service.
Today's Vision's goals can be described in four points:
Quality at competitive prices,
Fast, efficient, personalized service,
Highly trained personnel,
Availability (offices open evenings and
Saturdays)
|
Today's Vision locations are open when patients have
time to see us with extended hours on Saturdays and
weekday evenings. By carrying large inventories, 75% of
glasses sold and 95% of contact lenses fitted are
delivered within two hours. Today's Vision staffers are
monitored carefully to keep them motivated and excited,
a vital part of our success. Constant training assures
their level of knowledge. Twenty years of steady,
charted growth have seen Today's Vision expand to 37
locations covering Greater Houston, Austin, Dallas-Ft.Worth,
San Antonio, Beaumont, Nederland, Oregon and Tyler. |
