FOUR-STEP
PROGRAM FOR COMPUTER VISION CARE
This Four-Step
program for eye care professionals allows the doctor to better understand the
complexities of the visual aspects of computer use, and how to address them
for your patients. Computer-related vision symptoms can be categorized in three
areas:
- Eyes of the
computer user
- Working Environment
- Working Habits
All three of these
areas need to be addressed before CVS can be truly resolved.
The eyes,
or more appropriately, vision physiological factors, include diagnosable
vision conditions and corrective lens design and / or prescription problems.
The computing
environment includes glare, workstation layout, furniture, lighting and
the equipment, specifically the monitor itself and its resolution, image colors
and image sharpness (or lack of).
The work habits,
called behavioral ergonomics, includes the type of work the patient does.
You may have been
addressing the vision physiological factors for your computing patients, but
that’s only addressing a part of the problem. Comprehensive treatment requires
analyzing and prescribing for all contributors to CVS.
The
Four Step Plan
STEP
1: In-Office seminar
Learn the latest
information on how to assess the visual ergonomic needs of your computer using
patients. Learn examination and intervention techniques that you can implement
immediately.
This one-hour
seminar is designed to educate you about the basic issues surrounding CVS. It
is a CE-approved course to give you the education and training needed to take
the next three steps in providing complete treatment for your computing patients.
In addition, you will bring additional revenue into your practice and maintain
a strong competitive edge.
STEP
2: Train your staff
This private consultation
with all of your staff will get them up to speed on how to incorporate computer
vision services into your practice. The discussion will center on phone skills,
patient discussions, brochures, occupational lens fittings and overall awareness
of CVS. Your staff will learn how to talk to patients about CVS and how to assist
in resolving their concerns. This discussion will assist your staff in providing
key information for their computer work habits and environment prior to the
next step.
STEP
3: The CVS Exam
This is a critical
step. Only you can diagnose and evaluate for your patient’s symptoms in
a separate CVS eye exam and then prescribe the most comprehensive and effective
treatment approach. During the CVS exam, you will need to determine habits related
to your patient’s computer use. In addition, we will discuss specific exam
procedures and power determination. Various lens options for computer use and
ergonomic recommendations will also be reviewed. For a CVS eye exam, you need
to take an additional step and find out how their eyes are working right on
their own monitor.
STEP
4: Evaluate your patient’s
environment and equipment.
Your patient’s
computing environment and equipment can be major contributors to CVS. You will
be coached in how to do on-site office evaluations where you can determine which
environmental factors are affecting their visual performance. Learn how to effectively
work with employers to demonstrate the financial impact of your recommendations,
how vision insurance plans can help and pitfalls to avoid when making on-site
evaluations.
We’ve developed
a Four-Step Program for Computer Vision Care to address the needs of your CVS
patients. This program will help you and your staff provide the latest treatment
for the CVS patient. In addition, you will bring additional revenue into your
