You are almost there. Your year is coming to a close. If you have not achieved your goals for the year, the likelihood that a mad dash is going to get you there is not realistic at this point. Let’s face it, it happened again. We started the year strong but got comfortable in the middle, and now we are wishing for a different outcome.
But you don’t have to wait to start the new cycle in January—the best time to start something is now. In fact, now is a great time to start a new contact lens habit in your practice. Regardless of whether you want to bring in myopia management, start fitting sclerals, increase your daily disposable percentage, or fit more presbyopes—the right time is now. These very patients are in your practice today. They are probably walking in the door as we speak.
When was the last time that you did a myopia management case? If it has been longer than five days, you are missing out. For the next myopic child who walks in, the time is now. Get the K readings, the Rx, and the horizontal visible iris diameter, and perform corneal topography if you have the equipment. Send those measurements to the orthokeratology manufacturer of your choice.
Or, order trial lenses for the next toric multifocal patient who comes into the office. Don’t know if they will work for this patient? You’ll never know until you try.
Don’t wait to start something new. Wrap up your year with something new so that when the new year comes around, you will already be ahead of the curve.
