Traditionally, when prescribing prism in progressive lenses, the only option has been the Geometric Optical Centre (GOC). With Opticare's Prism Management innovation, you can now include prism correction at either distance or near within our Optilux range:

-Prism @ Distance
-Prism @ Near

This advancement allows you to prescribe with greater precision, giving patients clearer, more comfortable vision, especially those experiencing convergence issues, eye strain, headaches, or double vision.

Prism in lenses works by gently bending light as it enters the eye, shifting the image slightly so the eyes can work together more comfortably.

Without prism correction, patients with certain eye conditions may experience eye strain, headaches, or even double vision.

That’s why Opticare has introduced a world-first innovation: the option to include prism when prescribing progressive lenses within our Optilux range.

Now, you can apply prism precisely where it’s needed most, whether at distance or near, helping to correct certain vision problems and give patients clearer, more comfortable vision throughout their day.

Do you want to know more or see how this works in practice? Ask your local BDM today or send us a message at info@opticare.com.au.

Controlling prism in progressive designs is a feature that the industry has been asking for since progressives were introduced over 30 years ago.

Why?
It is because with traditional progressive designs, it is impossible to incorporate prism where a patient needs it - only at the GOC, or at the Geometric Optical Centre.

Now, for the first time, Opticare has made it possible to set the prescribed prism at distance or near.

This breakthrough gives optometrists greater control to optimise vision where it's actually required.

Opticare is proud to lead this breakthrough, and we can't wait to share more with you.

Dear listeners, especially those in leadership roles —
How many conversations have you rehearsed but never had?
How many difficult conversations have you planned only to cancel at the last minute?

How often have you chosen silence over discomfort?
See, as leaders, we yearn to be liked and we fear rocking the boat. But avoiding tough talks makes us unclear. Staying silent can erode trust, hold you back from growth, and harm team culture especially if you are aiming to promote transparency and open communication in the workplace.

In our newest episode of The Focused View's Elevate Your Practice Series, we tackle the conversations that you may have been trying to avoid.

This one’s for every leader who wants to grow and help their team grow!
