Jarrod Power, Associate Product Manager at Devices Technologies, says his company is looking forward to showcasing their vast range of equipment, including chairs, stands and slit-lamps, as well as optical coherence tomography (OCT) tools for managing myopia and dry eye.
“At O-show we’ll be offering on-booth consultations for optimising patient flow by planning practice spaces and the use of efficient technologies to make the most of what you have,” said Mr Power.
This year, ODMA, in conjunction with Young Optometrists, will show their support of independent practices with a 90-minute workshop packed with tips and a business model for those considering starting their own practice.
Kathy Allen, SYOP presenter, said, “The model is a powerful tool for optometrists starting their own practice. They can use it to determine things such as how many patients they need to see a day to cover their costs or to make a certain amount of profit. They can then identify the impact, on the bottom line, of seeing one more patient per day, or selling an extra pair of frames per day.”
