EYE ON ACCESSORIES
See Clearly Now
by Amy Spiezio

New frames—check. High tech lenses—check. Smudges and fog—wait a minute. The finest eyewear in the world is not going to be pleasing if people can't see out of it. While the latest coatings have made lenses resistant to fingerprints and more, messes will happen and it's critical that your patients have the correct cleaning tools.

Whether in a kit or à la carte, today's cleaning materials provide a gentle, non-damaging way to keep lenses clean and clear. And these products often have label customization options, allowing you to help your patients while promoting your practice or dispensary.

The following is a rundown of some of the latest weapons in the war against dirty eyewear.
