PAL Marketing and Dispensing Cardboard Leaflet

[masterng]

Our office used to have three few cardboard leaflets that we can use to explain the benefit of using PAL and check to make sure patients can see the text when they pick up their glasses. For some strange reasons, all of them are gone within one week. I believe these cardboard are from Zeizz and it's about 5" x 7", bi-folded, in blue and white color.

I wonder if anyone knows where buy some of these. Without them, we have to spend a lot of time to explain how the PAL works... Something similar to this would also work. I really appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.

Talk to your sales reps for your lenses? I know varilux had some good pamphlets for that explaining the physio vs the comfort and then describing enhanced

We have a really nice one from Kodak. One side shows how the progressive works, the other side has a sample of a nutrition label, medication label and newspaper print. Pretty sure if you go to the Kodak or Signet website you can order them for free.

Sounds like a good and practical one to have. I will keep on searching. Thanks,

Are you talking about the Reading Card to test near reading vision? Leaflet and Cardboard usually don't describe the same item. Or are you talking about a hand out that a patient can take with them and read about progressive later?

Maybe I didn't use the correct term there. Anyway, it's a very nice and thick cardboard (2-3 mm), bi-folded, with reading info inside so the patients can test their near vision. The back side shows how PAL works. These are not for Ptx to take home (even though I think that's what happen there :-).

Most manufacturers call those "reading cards"... They are usually available from your Manufactures reps, like Varilux, Zeiss or Hoya,. Zeiss makes the hard thick card board version you describe.
