Objectives:

The average prescription customer has but one pair of glasses for which they use for all their visual needs. It is estimated that less than 10 percent of prescription wearers have prescription sunglasses and only about 5 percent of presbyopes have a pair of reading or computer glasses. ECPs understand that one pair can't do it all. This course teaches that one should prescribe/recommend three prescriptions. These glasses address the passion, complementary and primary needs and wants of every patient. Join us in this fun and informative course.
