Q&A: Putting the Unity Lens Matching Tool to  Work for Your Practice

1/23/2019

Use the Unity lens matching tool to put your patients in the perfect lens.
The Unity Lens Matching Tool is an interactive assessment tool that helps gauge a patient’s digital eye strain symptoms and match them with their perfect lens. But before you use it with your patients, there’s probably some questions you’d like answered on it.

So, putting ourselves in your shoes, we put together five questions we’d want answered if we were eye care professionals:

1. How does the Unity lens matching tool work?

It asks the patient a series of questions about their digital lifestyle, current symptoms, and age, then uses an advanced algorithm to recommend an ideal Unity lens based on their responses.

2. How does the tool help with dispensing Unity Relieve specifically?

Unity Relieve Lenses are innovative lenses for digital eye strain. They are available in two options, Unity Relieve 50 and Unity Relieve 70, with 50 being for moderate digital eye strain sufferers and 70 being for more severe cases. Since there’s no hard and fast line differentiating moderate and severe symptoms, the tool’s algorithm was developed to make the distinction easy by factoring lifestyle responses in with lens properties.

3. How else does the tool help in the practice? 

According to The Vision Council, approximately 80% of American adults don’t discuss their digital device use with their ECP, and 69% don’t know there are glasses that help alleviate digital eye strain symptoms. By going through the interactive quiz, the tool gets your patients thinking about their digital lifestyle, current visual symptoms, and how the two may be related. This opens up the conversation between them and you in the practice, which means you get a better understanding of their needs, allowing you to make the best final recommendation.

4. Does the tool only match the patient to a Unity Relieve lens?

No. While it’s a great aid in the making 50 or 70 decision, the lens matching tool – as the name implies – connects your patient with their most appropriate lens. If their responses identify them as a progressive wearer, it’ll return a recommendation for Unity Via Progressives or Unity Via OfficePro based on symptoms and needs. If they’re single vision wearers, it’ll steer them in the right direction for Unity Relieve or standard Unity Single Vision Lenses.

5. What’s the most effective way to use the tool with your patients?|

As they say, there’s always more than one way to skin a cat. So, we recommend taking one of the following two approaches to get the most value out of the tool.
  1. Email it ahead of time – If you send appointment reminder emails, include a link to the tool and ask them to bring their results to the visit. Remember that timing is everything, so if you choose the email route, try to send it to them within a day or two of their appointment so their results are fresh in their mind.
  2. Have them take the assessment during check-in – This is a great way to get them thinking about their symptoms and opens them up for a discussion on digital eye strain lenses before they head into pretest.

How to share the link with your patients.

Simply hit the button below at any time. Once the tool opens, copy the url (that is the page’s web address) in the browser window at the top of your screen. Paste it in the email to your patient. That’s it!

If you’re having them take the assessment at check-in, we highly recommend bookmarking the page by clicking on the appropriate button of your preferred internet browser (it’s usually right next to the url).  That way it’s only one click away at all times.
