Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Myopia Management to Myopia Business: Building the Systems That Scale - Dr. Fallon Patel
Q: What would you tell someone starting out about training their staff and tracking progress?
Assign a Myopia champion, train the whole team on the basics, and implement light tracking (patients seen, treatment options chosen) with visible dashboards and small incentives to celebrate early wins.
From Myopia Management to Myopia Business: Building the Systems That Scale - Dr. Fallon Patel
Q: So where do we want to start on this?
Begin with a simple approach: pick one or two mutually compatible treatment options, get your team trained on the basics of myopia, and set a clear patient journey so staff can guide families through the process.
Are Optometrists Undervaluing Contact Lens Patients? Private Label Lenses Can Fix That - Dr. Harmin Chima
Q: What is a simple, effective patient-trial approach that can boost adoption?
Offer a no-strings in-office trial: fit the lens in-chair, have the patient wear it for 30 minutes, and then return for an evaluation before proceeding to a full fitting.
Are Optometrists Undervaluing Contact Lens Patients? Private Label Lenses Can Fix That - Dr. Harmin Chima
Q: How should clinicians present contact lenses to patients without making brand a focal point?
Talk about the lifestyle fit, test results, and dryness considerations first; avoid naming brands unless asked, and let the lenses do the talking through trial and feedback.
Are Optometrists Undervaluing Contact Lens Patients? Private Label Lenses Can Fix That - Dr. Harmin Chima
Q: What does private label contact lenses mean for a practice in practical terms?
Private label means a practice can offer CooperVision lenses under its own brand, resulting in higher margins and tighter control over patient loyalty, with the same product quality as the national brand.
