As an AOA associate member benefit - AOA member ODs may enroll their optometric staff as AOA associate members at no charge- the beginner level CD is offered online for free, and discounted member pricing is available on the intermediate and advanced level CDs. The “start and stop” feature allows staff to pick up where they left off in their last session.

The lenses feature UV protection 25 times better than without any lens. The lenses selectively block blue-violet light that’s a risk factor in age-related macular degeneration, while allowing blue-turquoise light that supports healthy sleep cycles, memory and cognitive function. The system, intended to help ECPs compete with online vendors, is now in a beta test and will likely roll out to other practices by the end of 2014.Įssilor’s Crizal Prevencia No-Glare lenses are now available on managed vision care plans offered by VSP, as well as through EyeMed and Humana. ECPs can send the wearer custom-branded reorder reminders by text or email via LensFerry. The wearer selects from buying options, including any insurance benefits and applicable manufacturers’ rebates. After the in-office visit, a practice enrolls the wearer and verifies the prescription. Lens Ferry, a service from CooperVision and its subsidiary WebSystem3, will allow contact lens wearers to order replacement contact lenses from any manufacturer via their mobile device, tablet or computer for fast shipment to their homes via ABB Optical. For example, $100 can help provide 20 people with access to an eye exam and glasses and $1,200 could pay a month’s salary for an optometrist to see up to 40 patients a day. The event helps raise money for global eyecare needs.
