Sara Hagen shared her story in opening I.SEE. Optical Company -- an optical boutique and a clothing store. She wrote: "While eyewear is my heart and soul, in December 2023, I had the opportunity to expand into the neighboring suite and decided to open a clothing boutique. The fashion portion has been a wonderful addition because when people are walking around town, they’re less likely to step into an optical shop, knowing that glasses are a significant investment. "But clothing is a smaller investment, and having a clothing boutique draws people in. Once they’re inside, it opens the door for them to return when they are ready for new glasses."

Dat Bui, OD from ODs on Finance® shared how communicating with patients about retinal imaging improves profitability. He wrote: "I’ve found that communication is key with patients — before, during, and after their appointments. This helps to eliminate any questions, and it ensures that they’re not only on board with the testing, but they understand why you’re doing it, what to expect, and how much it will cost. By taking the time to properly train your office staff to be able to prep patients ahead of time and answer their questions, it will help you increase your revenue."
