Enhancing your communication skills can help practitioners improve their capture rate in the optical. Kayla Ashlee from Spexy shared a step-by-step guide with Independent Strong readers on how to stop optical walkouts and boost your office's capture rate. She wrote: "The lack of refined sales and communication training in our industry is the main source of many of the pain points in independent opticals. Optical professionals historically make assumptions, and the result is a poor experience all around, which leads to decreased performance in unguided opticals. This is why I have made communication and sales training for the optical industry my passion."

Do you struggle to talk to your patients about the best hygiene practices? Dr. Selina McGee OD, FAAO, Dipl ABO recently wrote an article about the importance of having these tough talks with patients, while offering ECPs advice on how to make it easier and smoother. She wrote: "As an eye care professional, it is my responsibility to communicate with patients about their aesthetics services, as well as how they can care for their skin and eyes and maintain proper hygiene. All patients need to know how to properly care for the delicate eye area. "The skin is only 0.5 mm thick around the eyes, so it needs to be treated differently. We don’t want harsh soaps or toxic ingredients migrating to the ocular surface and causing infection or creating any other health complications. That’s why it’s critical that we master these conversations with patients."
