I have found that the patients are impressed when we are using the Optikam when taking their measurements and they appreciate that we use the latest technology available today. I tell them that is huge benefit when coming to our office vs going to other places that are taking the measurements like I use to for the last 30 years. Although I can take as accurate manual measurements as any Optician or Optometrist, I would never go back to using a marker and pupilometer again. Patients now see LC advertising how accurate taking digital measurements and many other commercial and independent optical's are now using this technology so it will be hard to justify to a customer why taking the measurements as you have in the past is better than using this technology. Plus if you plan to selling tomorrows digital lenses it is necessary to give then additional 3 measurements ( Panto angle, vertex distance, and face form ) which is extremely hard to do manually.
