Alcon partners with ECPs on new lens care compliance program

Article

Alcon has released a compliance kit will help eyecare professionals educate their patients on how to take care of their contact lenses while also providing consumers with a clear doctor recommendation.

Fort Worth, TX-Alcon has released a compliance kit will help eyecare professionals educate their patients on how to take care of their contact lenses while also providing consumers with a clear doctor recommendation.

A recent Alcon survey showed that while 95 percent of optometrists reported distributing sample starter lens care kits, only 31 percent of patients said they received an actual recommendation for a specific product. In other words, distributing free sample starter kits does not always translate into a recommendation.

The new patient compliance kits include compliance tips, patient education on the features and benefits of Alcon’s advanced lens care technology, a new lens contact lens case and coupon for Opti-Free PureMoist  Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution. Alcon will continue to provide starter kits for all new contact lens wearers and for those patients who should evaluate an Alcon lens care product.
