How do you incorporate occasional wear contact lenses into your everyday practice this summer? Kathy Oxtoby reports on how to introduce the concept to your patients, and the benefits this can bring for them and for your business.
Summer is the ideal season for optometrists to introduce and recommend contact lenses for occasional or flexible use to patients. Weddings, holidays, festivals, parties and sports are typical summer events where patients who do not ordinarily wear lenses may benefit from using them for a short period of time, attracted by their flexibility, ability to improve their enjoyment of activities, and for cosmetic reasons.
