We explain why comparing one discounted lens or rebate isn\u2019t enough and how analyzing the complete cost of your most frequently used lens-and-AR combinations can reveal what you\u2019re actually paying.   We also discuss how labs use loss leaders, when working with multiple labs may make financial sense, and why a buying group\u2019s preferred lab relationship doesn\u2019t automatically guarantee your practice the best pricing. We share how spreadsheets, AI tools, and insights from successful colleagues can help you compare your options, verify your current relationships, and protect your practice\u2019s profitability.   Have a question for us to address in a future episode?
