Multiple Pairs White Paper

The sale of multiple pairs of eyewear is a relatively rare occurrence—but one with major practice-building potential. Achieving a 25 percent multiple pair sales ratio can produce a large revenue gain and is within the capability of any practice which structures its eyewear presentation process to encourage multiple pair sales.

INCLUDED HERE ARE CRITICAL INSIGHTS INTO:

• How patients benefit from owning more than one pair of eyewear
• How practices benefit from presenting multiple pairs to their patients
• Techniques to effectively present multiple pairs to all ages and income groups
• Understanding patient vision needs—and serving all of those needs
• How an effective patient financing program can help achieve each of these goals

Position of Wear White Paper

I thought that many of you might appreciate the attached technical communication that I recently created regarding the optical principles and practical implications associated with the position of wear. I wrote this paper in support of some standards activities within the Vision Council, but your students may also find some of this information useful.

Nothing like 14 pages of optical stuff to ring in the New Year!

I will keep the most current version of this document at the following link:

"We know that opticians play a critical role in the delivery of eyewear and eyecare to patient," said DeGennaro. "The project and goals created after the summit, will pave the way for opticians to be optimally suited to deliver the best to their patients. By creating this new foundation, we can allow others in the optical community to contribute to this important effort."

For the remainder of 2012, the Opticianry Summit Foundation Board of Directors will continue communicating with Summit attendees and the opticianry community at large, as well as develop bylaws, fundraising plans as well as further the projects and goals as identified in the summit.
