Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone could tell me what price they are selling the Heine BIOs for (student prices) at the american optometry schools. I'm a 3rd year at the University of Waterloo, and I want to make sure they are not overcharging us... considering the current state of the dollar.

I'm looking for prices for:

1. Heine Omega 500 with M-pack
2. Heine Omega 500 Unplugged (recently released, wireless).


Thanks a lot.

We learn it at the beginning of 2nd year, but every exam lane here has one so many students don't buy their own until later on. I'm planning on buying mine soon before I head out on 4th year externals.

Any idea of prices? I'd really appreciate it, i think these reps are taking us for a ride!

You don't do BIO until 3rd year (or later)? 😱

Our BIOs at Pacific ran $1400 to $1900 (USD).

I don't know who your distributor is, but logging on to two of our potential distributors I see the prices are identical. The Heine with M-pack is listed at $1575 and the Heine 500 Unplugged at $1840.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Here they are charging $2128 for the M-pack, and for a limited time they are selling the Unplugged for $2140 after which the price will go up.


I'll ask them to explain the difference in prices.
