PATIENT EDUCATION: JUST A CLICK AWAY
Connecting patients with informative and educational online resources can keep them coming back while making your job easier.


TEACH PATIENTS WITH ENGAGING OFFICE TOOLS
From animations to hands-on demos, there are plenty of resources available to keep patients informed about eye health and vision products.

Eyewear
HELLO KITTY GOES BACK TO SCHOOL
From her first appearance in Japan in 1974, Hello Kitty has become a globally recognized icon for preadolescent girls. The little white Japanese bobtail cat with the red bow is an adorable girl aimed at preschoolers and tweens. Eyewear Designs Ltd. now offers this playful brand in an eyewear collection for girls that you can promote to your elementary and middle schoolers as they head back to school.


LEGRE EYEWEAR: FORM, FIT, AND FASHION
Founded in 2002 by opticians Lenny Rabich and Gregory Meyliker, Legre Eyewear began with the aim of producing quality acetate frames that focus less on status and branding and more on form and fit. With a background in optics and a passion for classic eyewear, the duo tailored Legre to fill a void and encompass all shapes and styles worth revisiting from the past.


Sunwear

Lenses

In-office casting and surfacing equipment are becoming more popular. Here’s a look at three systems that can manufacture lens designs, materials, and treatments in-house.


DIGITAL USERS GO FOR GUNNAR RX
