ClearVision Announces TBSP: New Program for Maximizing Profit with Managed Care Patients

Tuesday, June 3 2025 | 11 h 30 min | News

ClearVision Optical is introducing Tablespoon by ClearVision (TBSP), a new program designed to maximize profitability with managed vision care plans.

The TBSP program was created to help eyecare professionals who are struggling with managed care profitability. As more patients stay within their benefit allotments, ECPs continue to face confusion about whether managed care is profitable for them.

TBSP addresses this problem with a flexible, high-margin solution built to maximize profit potential with recognizable brands.

With three ways to join and contract pricing, the program helps ECPs preserve profitability with managed care and zero pay patients without sacrificing style or patient satisfaction. All styles in the program are warranty-covered and exchangeable. Altogether, practices can profit over $5,000 with their initial enrollment.

TBSP includes curated collections from brands patients know and trust, including Ellen Tracy, Jessica McClintock, Ocean Pacific, and ClearVision’s managed care–focused CVO Advantage collection.

Managed care profitability is growing more salient as ECPs experience multiplying pressures on their margins. A ClearVision survey found that 71% of ECPs have seen wholesale frame prices grow over the past year, while 76% of ECPs said just as many or more patients are staying within their vision plans.

Given managed care complexities and increasing pressure on margins, it’s no surprise ClearVision found that 68% of ECPs are currently or plan to look for products that help them improve profitability with managed care patients.

“TBSP is more than a program—it’s a practical answer to real challenges ECPs are facing right now,” said David Friedfeld, co-owner and president of ClearVision Optical. “We recently launched TBSP as a pilot, and we already have customers who are enrolled and experiencing significant margin increases.”
