When a patient tells me they really can't afford what I recommend, we respect that and move down a tier in our recommendation. Same with an asph lens vs a conventional SV lens. If the patient is a -6.00 -2.50 and cannot afford a 1.67 asph FF design, we don't like it but to get the patient seeing a stock poly will get the job done. That said the patient is very educated in why that lens is not recommended and how it can be improved upon. I guess you could say a consultative approach in not a good better best conversation, but instead a best better good conversation. How do you handle patients that would benefit from the latest tech but simply does not want to pay the 1000 price tag against your recommendation?
