Looking for PSA for Optometry or eye exams and the importance thereof.

[Darris Chambless]

Hello to any and everyone,

I'm trying to find out where one might get a Personal Service Announcement with regard to Optometry or the importance of getting routine eye examinations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Darris C.

Contact the AOA (American Optometric Association) and/or the American Academy of Ophthalmology for starters.

With the "See Clearly, Check Yearly" campaign in full swing, I'm sure there must be some PSA material out there somewhere.

Interesting how the ODs have grasped on to the concept that dentists used to get us in their offices every six months. (Note: I'm not saying it isn't a good idea to get eye exams every year, I'm just saying its interesting to see how widespread an effort the ODs are making to increase the frequency of visits.)

The office I am currently with gets around 70-80% of patients in once a year (pre-appointing at the end this year's visit really helps bring them in next year).

If you are interested, but haven't checked out the website here's the link:


http://www.checkyearly.com

It has lots of useful resources and download the logo.

One of the most popular items to order from the site are the Check Yearly. See Clearly. Appointment Reminder Cards.
