New EasyVision Display Features Easy-to-Dispense Magnifiers
Product: EasyVision Display
Top Line: For those practices who have patients whose readers don’t provide quite enough magnification for small print, Eschenbach introduces a new point-of-purchase display of popular low-powered magnification solutions that patients can select themselves.
Close Up: The EasyVision Display includes 10 devices in four different designs—from hand-held, stand and spectacle magnifiers to telescopic solutions, each of which can help with different tasks. For example, a hand-held magnifier can help with a short-term task such as reading a prescription bottle, whereas a spectacle magnifier may be better suited for a long-term task such as reading a newspaper. The products in the display are low in power ranging from 3D to 14D so patients will be able to find success using them on their own without having to schedule a low vision evaluation or have staff spend their time demonstrating the products. This keeps office staff productive and keeps patients happy since they can purchase the products that day.
Vital Stats: The EasyVision Display is ideal for practices who want to offer the next level of magnification devices beyond +3D ready-made readers without having to offer comprehensive low vision care.
