Capture the Opportunity With a New Choice in Adaptive Eyewear The optical industry continues to reach new heights with the creation of new technologies and products that further enhance vision. With these additions, patients now have more choices in eyewear than ever before, and so it has become more important for eyecare practices to guide their patients and help them understand their choices to give them the best possible experience in office. Transitions Optical conducted a consumer survey in 2013, which explored customer expectations of eyecare professionals during office visits—and more than two thirds of Canadians said that it is very or extremely important to them that their dispenser or optician makes a recommendation on the best lens product for them. So, with patients expecting a lens recommendation for their lifestyle and vision needs, there is a significant opportunity for practices to improve their service—and patient satisfaction—by focusing on this area. And, according to recent research, welcoming the newest addition to the Transitions® family of products to your portfolio can help you grow in these areas as well.
