Proclear Study

• Conclusions81 of patients, who had
  previously claimed to be very satisfied /
  satisfied with their current contact lens, chose
  to continue wearing Proclear once they had tried
  it. Meaning A silent patient is not always a
  happy patient!
• This demonstrates thatPatients will pay a
  premium for a better performing contact lens
• (all patients involved in the survey were made
  aware that Proclear was marginally higher in
  price than their current lens prior to trialling
  the lens)ThereforeIt is possible to upgrade
  your patients to a more expensive and more
  profitable contact lens as long as it is a better
  performing one.
