In November of 2016, Lynda Peers was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. She was referred to Dr. Matthew Albright of VisionAmerica and it was determined that surgery was needed to remove the cataracts.
Dr. Albright had previously performed cataract surgery on Mrs. Peer's husband and had used a monofocal lens. When this was mentioned, however, she balked at the idea. "My husband is completely happy with the results of his surgery, but when Dr. Albright went over the first lens with me and mentioned that I would have to wear reading glasses, I told him I did not want to have to bother with them," said Peers. "That is when he recommended the new lens."

3/23/2017 0 Comments Case study: a medical conundrumA 60 year old female was referred for a cataract evaluation. She presented with a three-month history of progressive difficulty driving at night due to glare.
An examination demonstrated BCVA of 20/20 OD and 20/30 OS with Brightness Acuity Testing of 20/25 OD and 20/80 OS. Her remaining examination was unremarkable with the exception of 1+ NS OD and 2+ NS OS as well as trace epiretinal membrane in the left macula. The patient subsequently underwent an uncomplicated cataract extraction in the left eye. At one week post op, she demonstrated a BCVA of 20/50 with clear cornea, quiet anterior chamber and well centered PCIOL. At one month, BCVA had dropped to 20/80 while her anterior segment continued to remain clear. The success of your optical sales hinges on managing your inventory well. In fact, inventory is the backbone of any successful product based business.
At VisionAmerica we don't (and won't ) sell glasses. In an effort to "stay in our lane", we brought in Mr. Randle Tibbs of UAB EyeCare to drop some knowledge on the world of optical sales. Here are three tips to make sure you are doing this well. |
