Is every staff member aware of the following eye health basics? Not only is this good information to be discussed at a staff meeting, but it could be an opportunity to enhance your patient relations.
Put an abbreviated list on the back of your business card and give to each patient to put in their wallet. Or make up a small card, refrigerator magnet, with your name and phone number. You could even go so far to write up an separate Rx!
