The eyewear market is expected to reach 76 billion dollars by 2027. This is great news for manufacturers, but the reasons behind it also point to a huge momentum for optometrists. According to a report by Technavio, the effects of prolonged screen time and lifestyle changes are causing a boom in eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lens prescriptions. About one out of three individuals in the US experience myopia or hypermetropia. And there's an increase in conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts among the aging population. 👁️ The market conditions show it's a good time to own an optometry practice. However, optometrists still face the challenge of preparing their businesses to meet the demand. The right staff and efficient operations are crucial for business success. OpticHR is here to lighten the load of optometrists and elevate their practice. If you're not an optometrist, I'm sure you have one of reference.  🟢 Can you help me spread the word on this post and make sure it reaches more independently owned vision clinics? It's time to empower these practices for growth! #OpticHR #Optometry #HRSolutions

I wanted to give you some thoughts on finding the right #framestyle for your patients. Often a patient will gravitate to the “known” instead of what is right for their face, their personality, their career. It’s been said before they #opticians are the bartenders of the #optical world. And one of the rolls of a bartender is to know what’s right for their customers. The same is true for us. Get to know your patients. Discover their likes, interests, personality. Lean into all of this when guiding the #frameselection process. #opticaljedi #optometry #eyecare #eyewear #independenteyewear Focal Point Optometry Vision Source® ************* Worn in this #reel @turainc #tedbakereyewear #tm013 with #variluxxrseries Transitions lenses #transitionsgensemerald #transitionsemerald #crizalsapphirehr

Last year, a KPMG report revealed two key attributes Australian consumers valued most in their interactions with businesses. They were: ‘personalisation’ and ‘integrity’. Extrapolating these findings for #optometry, practices are expected to understand their patients’ wants and needs, while instilling trust that they’re doing the right thing by them. In turn, the chances of a word-of-mouth referral increase when their expectations are met, and they are more likely to return when they find the practice easy to interact with. So, what does this look like on a day-to-day basis for an independent optometry business? Mr Ulli Hentschel, national training a development manager at HOYA LENS AUSTRALIA PTY LIMITED, says while it starts with the eye exam, it’s often the retail experience that leaves the final impression. Was the patient offered lens options that suited their lifestyle? Were the lens benefits clearly articulated? Did the services come across as efficient and professional? And did the patient leave fully informed of their purchase without any post-decision regret? Here, he details Hoya Vision Care's new platforms allowing practices to nail the dispense on a more consistent basis. #optical #opticaldispensing #lenses #eyewear https://lnkd.in/gHbWDt7X

A Lucky Case of an RGP Fit on a Low Sphere High Astigmatism 👀 . A month ago, my colleague referred me for a LASIK reject patient to fit RGP lenses, as the patient is highly motivated for glasses-free vision. . She was a 24-Year-Old Chinese Female who is eager to be glasses-free due to cosmetic reasons and visual discomfort with glasses. After some discussion on alternative options (Toric-ICLs) and laid basic expectations, we booked an appointment for the fitting. . Yesterday, I saw her for the fitting. . Her refractions are as follows: R) -2.00/-4.00X180 (6/6-2) L) -2.75/-5.00X180 (6/6-2) . Her corneal topographies are shown as central, symmetrical bowtie with steep corneas and corneal astigmatism similar to the total astigmatism. . Based on my prior experiences and knowledge, I am expecting Bi-Toric lens design due to her high astigmatism. I was also expecting the entire fitting to be very unstable due to her low sphere high astigmatism profile. . However, when inserting a spherical RGP, I was pleasantly surprised with the stability of the fitting, despite the fitting being slightly steep. On over-RX, she can achieve a 6/6-2 vision which is of our expectation. We proceeded with the ordering of the lens after double confirming with the professional affairs (I was not expecting a perfect fitting at all!) . Due to her tight lids and small apertures, as well as high astigmatism profile , she can benefit well from RGPs compared to soft toric contact lenses, and I am super happy that we are able to achieve that for her. . Can’t wait to deliver the lenses to her after Chinese New Year! . I am also hoping that this case can motivate other optometrists to consider RGPs as a routine refractive solutions in their practices 😊 . #optometrist #contactlens #oculus #rgp #astigmatism #toric
