The first steps I took to make changes was moving to a new location, implement EMR, and bought the latest in technology, Marco equipment, along with their total solution.  Their XFRACTION process is the total solution which includes an automatic lensmeter, the OPD and the TRS-5100 digital refractor.  

Using the EPIC refraction system from Marco, the technician can easily show the patient the difference between his current prescription and his new refraction. That side-by-side illustration helps educate the patient on the advantage new eyewear will have for reading, driving or work.

The OPD lets your educate patients graphically, bringing abstract or complex concepts firmly into their grasp. And when patients and surgeons are both on the same page, we can all work toward the same goals.

There is no question that the EPIC increases sales. My optical business is 2.5 times what it was before we added the EPIC and a new design for the optical display.
