VIP Club members will get an email notification every year around February 15th. The system will send the email to the email address they used to sign up for their lens. All members must confirm their membership every year. Confirmation includes the confirmation of the member’s current shipping address. We will not send membership kits if you do not confirm your membership. Complete rules and details of the VIP club program here.
