What’s really driving patients to buy their contact lenses elsewhere? Can independent clinics compete with big box retailers without slashing prices? And what does a truly seamless patient journey look like?
Alex McIntosh, founder of Otto, joins Dr. Trevor Miranda to unpack the operational blind spots that cost clinics revenue and retention. Drawing from his early experience in a family-run optical business, Alex shares how independent practices can capitalize on digital tools like automation, prescription data, and frictionless e-commerce to close the loop and stay top-of-mind with patients long after they leave the exam room.
