Evonne Torres-Hearn, Refractive Coordinator

I have been using your new 3D-Eye Home technology with our Premium IOL patients.  I have to tell you that we have found it to be an indispensable tool both in delivering a consistent educational message and in helping to increase the number of IOL conversions.  In fact, since introducing this new program to our patients, we have seen an increase in terms of our Premium IOL sales.  Thank you for providing the Ophthalmic community with such an easy to implement and cost-effective tool.

Dr. Christopher Perry

Eyemaginations has enhanced my practice and made my job easier. It pays for itself by turning prospective surgical patients into actual cases by helping patients better understand pertinent anatomy and physiology. I use Eyemaginations every day. Patients love the video animations.  If a picture is worth a thousand words than Eyemaginations is worth a million. Just what the doctor ordered. Thank you for helping me increase my bottom line and better educate and inform my patients in the process.

Dr. William W. Culbertson 

I am writing to encourage my fellow colleagues to seriously consider using 3D-Eye Office powered by Eyemaginations in their clinical practice. We have had it for about a year here at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and I don't know how we functioned before we got it. It is the most patient friendly and efficient way to provide diagnosis-specific patient education. I have no financial interest of any kind in the technology but I am extremely enthusiastic about it.

Dr. William Trattler 

My conversion rate to Presbyopic IOLs has just been remarkably high since I began incorporating your 3D-Eye Office technology into my patient work ups. 

As well, as I walk through our patient waiting rooms - I have noticed that the patients can just be mesmerized staring at our large flat panel displays with your "videos" playing.  I really greatly appreciate how your technology has improved the quality of our patient education.

Dr. J. Eric Vandemark 

I invested in 3D-Eye Office in August 2006. I was impressed by the broad content and the quality of the animations. Nearly every patient is shown a custom 3D-Eye Office presentation while they are dilating. Nearly every presentation begins with the importance of regular eye exams and the reason for dilation. We then review specific topics for that patient, and end with eyeglass options.

Since I have started using Eyemaginations my sales of anti-reflective coatings has gone up every month. In March of 2006 my office sold 15% A/R, this March we sold 57% A/R. I attribute this dramatic increase to the addition of Eyemaginations. I look forward to using it for many years because the program is expanded as our products and services expand.

My investment in 3D-Eye Office has paid off.

Dr. Lawrence Bindorf 

I have been showing my Eyemaginations software to all of my potential cataract surgery patients.  The response has been excellent.  About one third of the patients have chosen presbyopic correcting intraocular lenses and I'm sure the Eyemaginations presentation has contributed greatly to my relatively high conversion rate.  For those not choosing the presbyopic correcting IOL, there is still a significant benefit.  Patients come away with a much better understanding of the pathology and the procedure.

Dr. George Violin

The 3-D Eye Office and 3-D Eye Home systems from EYEMAGINATIONS have made such a difference in my ability to communicate with, and educate my patients. My patients are much better informed and therefore more comfortable with their treatment choices. More of my cataract patients are choosing accommodative and multifocal IOL’s, now that they are actually able to see how these lenses work. Not only is the EYEMAGINATIONS system being used by the entire staff with patients, but it has become a great educational tool for the staff as well. It lets our patients know that we think they are worth investing in the best technology available. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made for my practice.

Dr. Marc G. Dubin

I have been using LUMA for two years and it is now an invaluable part of my practice.  By dramatically improving my ability to communicate, LUMA facilitates almost every patient encounter.  There is no better visual aid available that delineates the complex anatomy and procedures that we attempt to explain to our patients.  Patients get better information much more rapidly!

Dr. Darrell White

Eyemaginations’ 3D-Eye Home is the one tool that digitally solidifies the patient/doctor relationship by extending the chair-side experience beyond the 4 walls of the practice to deliver the highest quality post-patient education and care. I have completed the transformation of my practice by bringing this technology into our clinics.

Mark Rosenberg, CEO

The patient response has been consistently positive with every 3D-Eye Home email received and we have seen an increase in PCIOL conversions” says Mark Rosenberg, CEO of BDPEC (Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center).  “I find it’s like taking the waiting room and sending it home.

Dr. David M. Blair

I have been an 3D-Eye Office user since its inception. I routinely initiate conversations concerning Ortho-K with 3D-Eye Office in the exam room. In addition, I have found that patients I am unable to close the same day I can direct to my website for further information. There they are able to again watch the videos and research Ortho-K. I feel this has been very successful in getting many patients that are on the fence to return.

Dr. Rob Lavoie

After putting 3D-Eye Office into the waiting room, exam room, and glasses boutique we saw a 29% increase in our collections in the first 9 months.  This system takes our office to another level with our ability to describe, recommend and demonstrate a wide variety of lens features.  I am able to show patients short videos describing any pathology that they may have, making it much easier and quicker in the exam room.  I'm not sure what we would do without 3D-Eye Office now.  I highly recommend this system.

Dr. Michael Johnson

I've found 3D-Eye Home essential for reinforcing patient diagnosis and treatment options once the patient has left the office. 

The "Complete Eye Exam and Retinal Testing" video goes out with all my email appointment reminders.  I've found that, not only do I capture more family members, but I also have more patients interested in optional testing like retinal imaging.

We all know that patients only retain a fraction of the information we tell them.  With 3D-Eye Home I'm assured that the patient has access to a full library of topics that will help them better understand their eye health.

Dr. Larry R. Brown

Overall, my experience has been phenomenal! The program clearly lives up to its billing. I have had great patient response to my new chair-side education program and the reception area loop presentation has produced lots of interest in refractive surgery, CIBA lenses and optical products. Considering the increasing growth in the Hispanic population in our county, the program has become invaluable in communicating with these patients. I've also used the French and Portuguese features. As always, thanks so much for everything you've done for me and my practice.

Dr. Grady Clark 

3D-Eye Office helps patients instantly see and understand what you constantly struggle to explain.  I have had the software active in my exam room for about three years now and I would feel completely lost without it.  I can't begin to make a patient understand what I am trying to explain as well as the amazing 30 to 60 second graphic animations.  The graphics are as clear and real looking as the graphics in the movie Shrek.

The Ortho-K presentation is dead on and my patients go from looking at me like I am babbling something that must be too good to be true to suddenly realizing Ortho-K is just what they have been looking for.  The animations on blepharitis, glaucoma, cataract surgery, contact lenses, neovascularization, and many other treatments and conditions, make the explanations so quick and easy to get through.  I have created a station that my patients visit while they are dilating after the exam.  They watch the animations on the things I feel they need to see.  When they come back to the exam lane, I go over the pertinent issues with them.  It saves a hunk of time each day.

The wow factor is also a very important part of the 3D-Eye Office because it shows you are on the cutting edge.  I have a plasma TV in my waiting room that plays the 3D-Eye Office program all day long.  Patients just love it and it shows the patients that you are fully trained in medical and therapeutic eye care.  By far, this is one of the best ways in the world to communicate your medical capabilities to your patients.  As a result, my patients now know my whole office has been converted to medical mode and my income is way up.

Dr. Bruce Dornn 

The introduction of the 3D-Eye Office software into our clinic has had a dramatic impact on the success of our office.  We started with the system in the fall of 2003.  Staff and patients alike have been impressed with the software.  Many patients have commented on how professional our office appears with this new computer software.

In the waiting room, we have a continuous loop running that describes every refractive error and the various corrective options that we can provide. 3D-Eye Office allows us, using the custom media feature, to insert promotional video and/or still images from various suppliers to play in sequence with the animations. This in-office advertising qualifies as co-op advertising and my suppliers cover all the costs of the system!

In pre-screening, patients that require visual fields or dilations can have these procedures explained to them in detail using 3D-Eye Office.  It has also made extra-billing procedures such as visual fields or retinal photographs much easier to explain to patients.

The system has a comprehensive catalogue of eye conditions and images.  Each patient can be educated on the value of premium single vision, progressive ophthalmic lenses, anti-reflective coatings and contact lens options while still in the doctor’s office.  Any questions the patient may have in regard to lens options can then be answered by the optician using the software in the dispensary.  This multi-layered approach to patient education saves staff time and makes it easy to provide the very best eye care services.

A comparison of retail sales three months before the 3D-Eye Office to three months after, demonstrated a 21% increase in overall sales.  The increase in sales can easily be traced to a significant increase in premium progressives, anti-reflective coatings and polarized lenses.  Eyemaginations gives us the tools to demonstrate to our patients why they need to use the best lens-wear available.  We now have higher customer satisfaction and higher retention rates of patients in our dispensary.  There is no doubt that 3D-Eye Office is now an integral part of our office.  I would highly recommend 3D-Eye Office to any Optometric or Ophthalmology practice.

Dr. Gary C. Crook

I am an older Optometrist in private practice in Augusta, Georgia. In March of 2003, I started a new practice with no patient charts. Today, 2.5 years later, I have 15,000 active patients with well over $1,000,000 gross. How did it happen? One secret I'll share with you is 3D-Eye Office. This is a terrific software program that educates and informs patients, increases gross and net revenues, and is totally professional. I encourage you to take a few valuable minutes of your time to look a the 3D-Eye Office presentation. I hope it helps you like it has helped me.

Dr. Daniel S. Durrie 

The 3D-Eye Office software is especially helpful in educating patients about the difference between corneal and intraocular refractive surgery.  This is a difficult concept for many so this kind of help is very valuable.

Dr. William Harrison

Your product is exceptional. I've practiced for 35+ years and regret I've only had the use of 3D-Eye Office for two weeks! My daughter is in her first year of practice and her patients will benefit for years to come. Every practice needs this product now and will obtain one as soon as they see its effectiveness. Keep up the great work!

Dr. David R. Free

The second day I had the flat panel TV in the reception area, I had a family visit for their annual exams. I had seen the mother previously but had never seen the two boys. Before I had a chance to discuss their contact lens options, the mother stated she wanted to try Ortho-K since she had seen the "video" in the reception area. Both children were candidates and are now happy Ortho-K patients.

Elizabeth Holloway 

As an Eyemaginations customer, I wanted to share with you a recent event that happened with your product.  Our office, Eye Site of Tampa Bay, was invited to speak at Mitchell High School, a school next door to one of our offices.  The school has recently started an Academy of Medical Arts program, to promote science and medicine within the school.  The class that I was given had over sixty students, all ninth graders.  We presented different career opportunities in the world of eye care.  We also prepared the Eyemaginations sketchpad to show "Introduction of the Eye" and to talk about cataracts, since they had studied about cataracts in class.  I want you to know that these ninth graders were mesmerized by Eyemaginations.  They couldn't ask enough questions about eyes.  I didn't even make it through my presentation, as the students saw your playlists and wanted to know all about the different words they saw on the screen.  Your product is not only great for educating our patients and educating our staff, but it is truly a tool to use media to reach out to the next generation.  I was impressed with the students, and the students were impressed with our office and Eyemaginations.  It was a wonderful experience for our office and staff to be a part of a great educational experience.  Thank you for designing a detailed and refined product for the world of ophthalmology.

Dr. Lawrence Chao 

We are very excited to host the 3D-Eye Online service that will allow our patients to access Eyemaginations' premium animations while accessing our chaovision.com website. Throughout Chao Vision Institute, we've had great success with the 3D-Eye Office, the interactive "sketchpad" version for chairside instruction.  Patients prefer watching custom animated videos over reading the written print on tradtional brochures and programs in their search for information.  With 3D-Eye Online, we can extend our vision education resources to our patients in a manner that is clear and consistent to help them make informed decisions about their eye care.

Dr. Jacqueline Campisi  

Eyemaginations Software has become part of the matrix of my exam procedure.  Patients are introduced to this from the moment they enter the office.  The waiting area, optical, tech rooms and all exam rooms play various customized playlists that coordinate with each aspect of the patient’s experience.  For instance, the contact lens application process is playing on the “big screen” while patients are waiting to get fit with contacts.  The Optos and iZon videos are also part of pre-test and of course, VST video by B&L offers the patients a chance to ask about this phenomenal alternative to LASIK.  By having this software, I am approached by the client asking me to provide services earlier in the exam process rather than having to introduce these options after the exam.  The 3D-Eye Online web system is a great product since it permits my on line registration and education to be carried out at home for further convenience.  I am so appreciative for what this company has done for Optometry.  I no longer have to describe astigmatism, I’ve increased sales in my optical and I’m able to play custom media presentations that I’ve created about my office!  I look forward to the new animations each year.  This has made practice fun for me, the staff and all those who enter our office.  Thank you Eyemaginations!

Iredell Eye Center 

Iredell Eye Center chose to use 3D-Eye Office primarily in the dispensary.  Within two weeks, anti-reflective coating(ARC) sales increased by 33% and polarized sales doubled.  By increasing ARC sales by one per day, Iredell Eye realized over $400 to the bottom line after accounting for the lab cost of the ARC.  Since we consider polarized sales second pair sales, just on the lenses alone, we realized an additional $900 to the bottom line on polarized.  The doctors were so impressed with the quality of the animation and the graphics, the software is now loaded on computers in our exam rooms.  It is very effective and efficient to let the 3D-Eye Office software explain a clinical condition or procedure.  This allows the doctor the flexibility to move on to the next patient while providing excellent, standardized explanations each and every encounter.

Dr. Edward Hedaya 

For nearly two years I have been using your 3D-Eye Office software.  In an age when we have less time to spend with our patients, I have found the menu driven software an incredible asset on multiple fronts.  First, it frees up my time and allows me to see more patients.  Second, it gives the patient the illusion that I am spending more time with them.  Third, it gives them a high tech image of the practice and an air of authority.  Fourth, it gives the patient a much clearer understanding of their disorder - a picture is worth a thousand words, an animated video is worth more.  Fifth, it allows the technicians to educate the patients before I see them and answer many of their questions.  Not every patient needs to see 3D-Eye Office, but for those who need to know more, it is a fabulous time saver and much appreciated by the patient.  Thank you so much for your great upgrades.

Dr. Barry S. Seibel 

I was one of the early adopters of 3D-Eye Office, finding it to be an innovative approach to patient education. However, I must admit that its implementation in my practice was somewhat limited due to a slightly limited library and good but not great animations for some subjects. I am happy to say that the new version 4.2 has rekindled my enthusiasm for the program with the substantially larger library of timely subjects, including presbyopic IOLs, and the stunning quality of the new high resolution images. Congratulations, and keep up the good work!

Dr. Steven C. Wilson 

It is effortless for me to write this note of endorsement of the Eyemaginations programs.  I have been an Eyemaginations client nearly as long as the software has been available.

The first thing that attracted me to EyeMaginations was the quality and content accuracy of the video clips.  Patients are mesmerized by the information that pertains to their individual health care status.  The information is concise and precise which I've found impossible to achieve by any other means of communication.

Like most other eyecare practitioners who have provided eyecare for 20 or more years, I've invested in some technologies that had little or no ability to continue to evolve, grow, and re-invest in their product.  These instruments sit under cover in the back storage room until I can find someone to give them to.   Of all the technologies I've invested, Eyemaginations' commitment to a constant evolution and improvement of product is the most impressive I've experienced!  I gladly anticipate receiving my annual renewal subscription because I know that a significant product update will soon follow.

We have placed LCD monitors in our reception and optical areas and are running looping informational/educational clips.  This has significantly enhanced our patient request for premium products in our practice.  Each exam room is now equipped with multiple monitors for a single computer which allows me to efficiently continue to chart information in my EMR while the patient is being educated about their personal eye health care.  This creates tremendous timesavings and allows me more time to answer patient questions and concerns.

Eyemaginations is committed to my future, committed to my patients' educational benefit, and committed to our wonderful field of Optometry.  I wholeheartedly endorse this program and product and would recommend this to any of my eyecare provider peers who are interested in creating a practice of the future, now!

Dr. Walter P. Harris 

I purchased 3D-Eye Office powered by  Eyemaginations software one year ago.  It has been one of the best investments that I have made.  As both a patient education and marketing tool, the 3D-Eye Office software has become indispensable to my practice.

The software runs on a computer in our waiting room with a large flat screen TV.  We run an educational loop which lasts for approximately 2 and ½ hours.  Many patients have commented that this has made their waiting time seem shorter and that they have also seen educational segments on the eye issues which brought them to my office.

We also have software running in computers in each of our exam rooms.  This is where the software really shines.  With F-keys pre-programed on each computer, our technicians are able to run a video segment addressing each patient's specific condition after they are brought into the exam prior to seeing the doctor.  The software also has a Sketchpad mode in which I can pick various video segments to animate my discussions with my patients.

I have recently offered multifocal and accommodating implants to my cataract patients.  I have found the 3D-Eye Office software indispensable to my discussion with my patients about these new implants.  The videos quite elegantly demonstrate the halos which you see with multifocal implants.  They also show how one's vision can fluctuate during the immediate postop period.  There's no doubt in my mind that the software has been responsible for converting many patients from standard cataract surgery patients to cataract surgery patients with multifocal or accommodating implants.  This alone has paid for the software many times over.

I am a general ophthalmologist, but I also have a fairly large glaucoma population in my practice.  I am a big advocate of selective laser trabeculoplasty and use this tool at all stages of the glaucoma decision tree.  The 3D-Eye Office glaucoma animations have been valuable in educating patients on glaucoma in general and on the SLT laser treatment in particular.  On many occasions, the software has been the decisive element in a patient deciding to proceed with laser glaucoma surgery.

I have an optical shop within my practice.  The 3D-Eye Office software has great features to both market and educate patients on premium optical products.  The optical software component is used both by the doctors in the exam rooms and by our optician in the optical shop.  Again, the boost in optical product revenue by the software more than covers its price.

Finally, I am pleased with Eyemaginations's commitment to stay current with new developments in ophthalmology.  They propose to upgrade their software annually with new video segments.  Most recently, they revamped their diabetic retinopathy videos and added new videos on chalazions and other eye conditions.  I look forward to maintaining a fruitful relationship with Eyemaginations for the rest of my career.

Heather Klenis 

3D-Eye Office has been a wonderful success for this practice.  In the first month of use we showed a 14% increase in conversion rate for refractive surgery!  Cross marketing procedures has aided in the awareness of the spectrum of service offered.  Many patients are highly impressed with this excellent learning tool, which makes them more comfortable when discussing various refractive options available to them. 

Dr. David Zehnder

I have been a user of the 3D-Eye Office software for two years now. It is the best patient education program and an outstanding source to boost revenue in the dispensary.

High-end sales and add-ons have more than tripled since we added this system to our office. Now, with the addition of the Custom Media and Vendor Branding, the marketing and co-op ideas are endless for our office. Our patients love the high tech appearance of the animations and having a better understanding of their ocular health. Thank you, Eyemaginations, for making our office better.

Dr. J. Christopher Freeman

The Eyemaginations 3D-Eye Office software makes my patient education a breeze. My patients are very impressed with the detail and quality of the animations. What I’m describing is now so easy for them to visualize.

Dr. Donald Mirate 

I am currently using the 3D-Eye Office program in every exam lane and have found it to be very valuable.  With this excellent educational tool, I am able to use my time to support additional patients while others are being educated. My office has been able to increase revenue and educate patients at the same time. Through the use of this product, my waiting times are filled with valuable education and more services are provided.  The equation is simple.  I believe that 3D-Eye Office equals better patient education plus more revenue minus physician frustration.
