Alcon Introduces Eye2Eye App

Alcon has introduced eye2eye, a new app for eyecare practitioners. The eye2eye app features a contact lens finder that helps ECPs identify Alcon contact lens products for their patients, and can also help ECPs successfully fit potential multifocal and toric contact lens wearers in less time.

The eye2eye app gives ECPs tools to maximize fit success in a range of available contact lenses, including AIR OPTIX AQUA Multifocal and AIR OPTIX for Astigmatism contact lenses, which use spectacle and contact lens Rx to ensure a proper fit. “In fact, 85 percent of AIR OPTIX AQUA Multifocal contact lenses were fit on the first try1 when following the fitting guidelines, making it the #1 selling multifocal contact lens.2 It is preferred more than all other multifocal contact lenses in the market,2” Alcon reports.

“Having Alcon’s eye2eye app takes the guesswork out of fitting multifocals,” says Vicki Dzurinko, OD, a Downingtown, Penn-based independent practitioner. “The eye2eye app walks me through the entire fitting process from start to finish, which saves me a great deal of chair time. Needing only the patient’s most recent spectacle refraction to get started, the staff is also able to utilize the app and pull the recommended initial diagnostic lenses to streamline the fitting process even further.”

The eye2eye App, which is currently available in the US only, can be found in the Apple App store, Google Play and at myalcon.com by searching “eye2eye” in the search bar. It operates on Apple, Android and desktop devices.
