We don’t talk politics unless it affects the optometry industry. But a major petroleum-based raw materials producer has initiated a “force majeure” clause for deliveries. That is “Latin” for “act of God” clause for why they can not keep their end of an agreement to deliver materials. Lenses are a petroleum-based product and global political events has resulted in a bottleneck for petroleum-based products. We will keep our communication channels open with our patients and we estimate wait times for glasses may increase.
