No one wants upset patients claiming they can\u2019t see out of their new eyeglasses in a waiting room full of patients!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step One: Double check the refraction. <\/strong>According to Dr. Davis, \u201cI rarely change a prescription more that +\/-0.75D so when a patient\u2019s prescription has changed more than that amount I have found the number of remakes increase, so I always examine the patients previous refractions to ensure I haven\u2019t made an error prior to recording the new Rx.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Two: Manage the patient\u2019s expectations. <\/strong>\u201cIf the patient\u2019s prescription has changed significantly, educate them on what specifically they can expect with the new prescription,\u201d says Dr. Davis. \u201cAnd always take the time to educate first time progressive wearers,\u201d added Davis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Three: Have a well educated optical staff. <\/strong>\u201cAlways make sure your staff understands appropriate frame selection, pupillary distance and seg height along with proper patient positioning,\u201d advises Davis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Four: Always check lens powers. <\/strong>\u201cAnother way to prevent spectacle remakes is to always check the lenses your lab produces as soon as they arrive,\u201d recommends Davis. By checking the lenses before they are dispensed you can catch any lab production errors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Five: Provide a written policy. <\/strong>Dr. Davis recaps his recommendations with the suggestion for a written policy. \u201cGive your patients a written policy on re-makes before they leave the office with their new spectacles.
