Course Description

We have all spent considerable time planning for re-opening. How can we improve hygienic practices in the office, exam room, and dispensary? This course covers single-use disposable wipes to facilitate easy and convenient lens and high-touch surface cleaning, frequently and conveniently.  Additionally, consumers, more than ever before, want convenient products to clean lenses and other frequently touched surfaces like their smartphones and tablets. For the ECP practice, this is another easy-to-implement practice- builder product category. A box or two of wipes increases the average sale and is a product reordered regularly. With its small footprint, wipes and small spray bottles fit neatly into the retail space. And for those expanding into eCommerce in response to brick and mortar business disruption, these tiny cleaning wipe packets and anti-fog spray fit the new eCommerce opportunities that many ECP’s are pursuing, in light of the lessons learned from COVID-19.
