Member Resource

We captured live feedback from member breakouts answering four questions geared towards ensuring financial resilience:

1. What is the one KPI you are currently not tracking that could change how you make business decisions?
2. What is your number one strategy for improving contact lens or lens capture rates?
3. If your patient volume dropped 15% tomorrow, what is the first thing you would do to maintain profitability? 
4. What services or offerings could you add in the next 12 months to diversify your revenue stream?
