How to build a brand formulary
Most practices fit from a short list of families they know well, with a backup for each patient type.
- One primary daily, one reusable
- A toric and multifocal in each
- Match what you can supply fast
-
Pick a primary daily
A daily silicone hydrogel family that covers sphere, toric and multifocal keeps refits simple.
-
Keep a reusable option
Two-week or monthly families serve price-sensitive and high-prescription patients.
-
Cover the hard cases
Extended-range lenses such as Biofinity XR handle high powers before you move to custom.
-
Know the rebates
Manufacturer rebate programs change twice a year and are tied to annual supply purchases.
Prescriptions
Brand rules that affect dispensing
A contact lens prescription names a specific lens, and federal rules govern how it moves.
Brand on the Rx
The prescription identifies the manufacturer and lens; sellers fill what is written.
Private label
For private label lenses, the FTC requires the manufacturer, the private label trade name and any equivalent brand on the Rx.
Release and verify
Release the prescription after the fitting and answer seller verification requests within eight business hours.

Questions practices ask about brands
Can a seller switch my patient to another brand?

Does Vision Rescue carry all four manufacturers?
The Vision Rescue catalog lists lens families from J&J Vision, Alcon, Bausch + Lomb and CooperVision.
Do contact lens orders earn the 15% participation credit?
No. Contact lenses are excluded. On routed online orders, 90% of the patient payment goes to the prescribing practice under the contact lens program.
