CooperVision US Professional & Academic Affairs

Happy Fourth of July from our team! Wishing everyone a safe and fun celebration complete with family, friends, and fireworks!

Are you initiating the conversation about #digital lifestyles with your patients? If not, a recent report from CooperVision provides a thorough checklist of considerations and conversation starters related to digital device use. As Dr. Jeffrey Anshel, OD - E Street Eyes, the founder of the 20-20-20 rule says in this recent ECP Viewpoints article, ““I don’t ask ‘if’ a patient is using a computer anymore. I assume they are. Now, I ask, ‘How many hours a day do you spend on a computer or digital device?’” https://lnkd.in/gr8N3Jzj

If you’re already offering dry eye services at your practice, setting up #myopiamanagement can be easier, faster and require less of a leap than you think. In this recent Review of Optometric Business article, Dr. Jennifer Tsai, OD shares 3 no-cost ways to convert your dry eye experience into a thriving myopia management practice, including expert step-by-step guidance from the MiSight® 1 day QuickStart Program which you can access through CooperVision’s Online Success Center. https://lnkd.in/gSfaFKzm
