About time to get rid of B&L management!

Implications: Current management is not responsive to my needs as a practitioner, nor my patient's needs. Let someone else try to make a venerable name good again.

Analysis: Current management, including the CEO who has admitted to lying on his resume, has not helped B&L rebound from its current difficulties in either the contact lens solution industry, nor the contact lens industry.

The contact lens solution plant that was recently re certified by the FDA could have been done a year ago when the FDA first stated problems occurred there. It took an additional 6 months, and a second recall to get it correct.

The contact lenses are the same design as previous HEMA lenses, in a silicone hydrogel material that has been around for years. Why wasn't the design switch years ago before Vistakon and Ciba?

Management has been responding to market challenges instead of creating them for other companies.

B&L has been a name in the optics industry for  over 60 years. It has been decimated by  poor management in the B & L  sunglass division sold to Luxottica. B&L was the first company to come with a marketable soft contact lens, now it is a laggard. B&L had the best in soft lens solutions, and RGP solutions. Now it hasn't had anything new for years in either field.

Lets breath some new life into a stoodgy, poorly run company. Lets get a company that can make new markets instead of try to keep old ones.

Is there some reason that Mr. Zarella doesn't want an AMO takeover? Does it have to do with stock options, or golden parachutes?
