Reduce Costly Lens Remakes

By Diane Palombi, OD

Keys to Success

TAKE ACUITIES THROUGH NEW PRESCRIPTION. If a patient complains of blur, take their acuities through the new prescription. If the acuity is good, then it really may be an adaptation problem.
USE LOOSE LENSES OR FLIPPER BARS. Loose lenses or flipper bars are great tools to use for a questionable prescription change that does not involve a change in the astigmatism correction.

DON’T NECESSARILY PRESCRIBE WHAT YOU REFRACTED. Do ranges through the phoropter so you can show the patient how the new add power would affect their working distances.

BEGIN SMALL. Set aside a limited block of time (one afternoon a week) to treat dry eye patients, then expand treatment hours for you and your tech.

ANALYZE THE MARKETPLACE. Assess how many other professionals treat dry eye in the area.
