Your patients care what you wear.

It’s important to share the type of eyewear you choose for yourself.

Eye care professionals are themselves the most influential part of a patient's consideration when choosing eyewear, with over 80% of patients saying that they would be very likely or somewhat likely to buy self-tinting lenses if their doctor recommended or wore them.

Patients experience different challenges

They are more inclined to purchase self-tinting lenses if eye doctors recommend them.

We conducted a recent poll of 300 patients and 99 eye care professionals in every state of the United States. The majority of the consumers, 50%, are current self-tinting wearers, whereas the other half wear clear lenses. The questions were based on self-tinting lenses.

Eye care professionals play an important role in the decision-making process for patients when it comes to choosing self-tinting lenses. According to recent research, 89% of eyeglasses users continue to purchase photochromics after their first purchase. ECPs were responsible for all 100% of these wearers being recommended photochromic lenses.

For patients concerned about the lenses taking too long to clear, ECPs can recommend the ZEISS PhotoFusion X Pro Grey and Pro Brown colors. These Pro colors are specifically designed to clear up quickly. In fact, they are up to 4.5 x faster to clear than the most common photochromic*.
