The Light-Reactive Lens That Gives Busy Parents One Less Thing to Worry About
With summertime in the rear-view mirror and back to school in full swing, patients with school-aged children are bracing for busy times ahead. Drop-offs, picks-ups, countless trips to the store, and backpacks crammed with homework are part of the daily routine. ECPs are parents too and understand the time crunch, which is why recommending SunSync® Light-Reactive Lenses can give parents a smidgen of time back and one less thing to worry about.
Eyewear That Can Multitask
When time is ticking and the bell’s about to ring, packing up the kids can be stressful. Switching from indoor eyewear to sunglasses outdoors may seem like a simple task but often times it’s not. Glasses need to go back in the case, sunglasses have to be found, and parents often find themselves searching for a missing pair in the glovebox, purse or other compartment in which glasses seem to vanish. SunSync Light-Reactive Lenses, however, go from clear indoors to dark outdoors within seconds, removing one more step from the hectic commute to school, the store, soccer practice, or gymnastics.
SunSync Elite Light-Reactive Lenses are designed for busy lifestyles, and patients can really benefit from eyewear that’s not slow to the gate. An all-in-one “life-reactive” solution that quickly responds to a wearer’s environment, SunSync® Elite Lenses offer 2X faster fade-back speed1 than the competition and are the only lens that adjusts from dark to clear in seconds2 rather than minutes. With quick and responsive fade-back and activation speeds, one pair of glasses does the job of two, so wearers can go from the car to the store to pick up two dozen cupcakes at the last minute and then back to school again and never have to switch glasses.
“Getting out the door with a toddler is a challenge in itself. To not have to worry about one more thing has been the best thing for me. Plus, our family is growing but our wallets are not, so having two pairs of glasses in one has been great for our family’s budget.”
—Yessenia, Working Mom and SunSync Wearer
Bringing More to the Dispensing Table
Aside from the time savings patients with children desperately need, SunSync Light-Reactive Lenses bring much more to the dispensing table. Parents on a budget save money with the convenience of having one pair of prescription glasses in case they aren’t ready to purchase a pair of extra sunglasses. A light reactive lens that’s truly “life” reactive, SunSync lenses also offer 100% UVA and UVB protection and exceptional blue light reduction indoors and out.
It's also worth mentioning to parents that back-to-school season is a busy time for children too. Because elementary-age children are constantly going back and forth from the playground to the classroom, having one pair of glasses that goes from dark to clear quickly and provides 100% UV protection is a key benefit. Also keep in mind that today’s students are becoming more reliant on digital devices like tablets and laptops, and excessive exposure to blue light may contribute to digital eye strain.
Preserve the “Cool Parent” Appearance
Fast fade-back speed is an enticing feature for patients who have never worn a photochromic lens; however, some patients may still be skeptical about appearance and remember the unappealing lenses and frames of the old days. Appearance is still everything to your patients so remind them that SunSync lenses can be fitted in many attractive frame styles, and they can choose lenses tinted gray or brown to match. For patients who prefer a very dark outdoor lens and one that retains tint in the car, talk to them about SunSync Drive XT which offers ultra-dark outdoor color, exceptional indoor clarity, and in-car retention. Patients on a tight budget can also choose the original SunSync which provides many of the benefits of SunSync Elite but not quite as fast fade-back speeds as SunSync Elite.
The Risk-free Kicker
It never hurts to remind patients that all SunSync lenses are backed by an exclusive one-year, 100% satisfaction guarantee for VSP members. This allows your patients to try them risk free for 12 months. The best part of this is once busy parents try these time-saving lenses, they won’t want to return them because more time and less stress is something everybody needs.
