OPTICAL DISPENSARY CHECKUP

Adopt a consumer-oriented approach

When your patients leave your exam room, they become consumers. To get them into your dispensary, you must develop a solid understanding of consumer behavior, according to Donald Teig, OD, FAAO, and Robert A. Davis, OD.

Once in the dispensary, you and your staff must educate patients on the benefits of having multiple pairs of glasses. Before they will pay for a second pair, consumers must perceive the benefits of having different glasses for different uses—as a backup, as a convenience, or as a fashion accessory. You must make specific recommendations, and opticians must show them appropriate products. » More
