“Vision is God’s most precious gift to mankind”
• 80% of the information

received from our brain
is processed from what
our eyes see*

Without clear vision, we
are missing 80% of our life
and our daily surroundings.
Operating at only 20%!

Imagine your life with vision loss

• How would you drive?

• How would it make you feel to not be

able to clearly see your loved ones?
phone, computer or watch television? • Would you be able to keep your
current job?

dependent on
each other
15
Your physical appearance may be the determining
factor of your new job or promotion
Your Career
• When hiring managers were asked to

rank employee attributes in order of
importance, managers placed looks
above education.

Appearance was the third most
important character trait

Experience
Confidence
Looks (Attractiveness)
Where the candidate received
education

• 50% of the hiring managers advised

spending as much time and money on
“making sure they look attractive” as on
perfecting a resumĂŠ.

• An attractive person has a 17% higher

probability of receiving a callback in
comparison to an unattractive person.

The Ugly Truth: The more physically attractive you
are, the higher your income & new job potential
Your Income

• An attractive person will receive
$230,000 more income in a lifetime
than an un attractive person.

• There is an 8% salary increase with

“It’s better to be average and
good-looking than brilliant and unattractive.”
This is the new reality of the job market,” says one New York job
recruiter, who asked to have her name withheld due for personal privacy.

The Question Is: What makes us physically attractive?

18

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Your eyes are the primary feature
that defines attractiveness
4 Independent Studies Revealed:
• The eyes are the first thing we notice, and the
facial feature we spend the most time looking
at when meeting an unfamiliar person.*
• Facial features are the most important
characteristics in attractiveness and eyes are
the most prominent feature of the face
• The features that command the most
attention, in order of importance, are:

1.

Eyes
Brows
Cheeks
Lips
Nose

*Janik, Wellens, Goldberg, & Dell’Osso, 1978

According to Dr. Steven Hoefflin, MD:
90% of our focus is on the small region of our brows, eyes & lips
19

Because your eyes
dominate your physical
attractiveness you should
evaluate and focus on your
vision correction options…..
to achieve your maximum attractiveness and help optimize
your career and income.

Poor vision leads
to poor
performance
Blurred vision leads to
poor performance on the job
• Work rate slows
(e.g. one needs to perform checks more often
to ensure that a letter or figure was correctly
recognized)

• Errors increase
(e.g. numerals and symbols are confused

• As a result, tiredness and

exhaustion happen quickly
• Eyes begin to feel tired and dry

Blurred vision leads to poor performance
in school and in sports
• 80% of learning in the classroom is

vision related
Studies have shown that about 25%
of high school students will fail a
simple vision screening in at least one
eye resulting in a lower performance
for learning and comprehension

• Sports performance is greatly

reduced with poor vision
Blurred vision decreases your depth
perception and eye hand
coordination, which decreases your
ability to catch, hit, throw, etc.

Blurred vision
leads to
depression &
anxiety
Vision loss is linked to high levels of
depression and anxiety
Poor eye sight contributes to impaired mental stability

• In a major study of over 10,000

participants the prevalence of depression
was drastically higher in those with
vision loss compared to those without

• The prevalence of depression among 20

to 39 year olds was 276% percent higher
for those with vision loss compared to
those with no visual problems

• In ages 60+ the prevalence of depression

was 320% higher

Irreversible vision loss
creates devastating
circumstances
3 of the 4 leading causes of blindness have NO symptoms
in the early stages
All cause permanent irreversible vision loss

Glaucoma

Macular
Degeneration
(AMD)

Diabetic
Retinopathy

• Almost 3 million Americans ages 40+ are affected by this eye
disease. Many more don’t even know they have it!

• Research proves that AMD leads to an overall cognitive
decline in senior citizens resulting in more falls, severe
depression and an earlier death.
• Diabetic Retinopathy occurs in about 95% of patients with type 1
diabetes mellitus (DM).
• In the past 12 years, it has risen an alarming 89%.

28

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Neglecting your eyes’ health could lead to a
terrifying and irreversible outcome
These diseases are virtually undetectable & can only be detected and treated with proper
technology at your eye doctor’s office
• More than 50% of people with

Glaucoma are not aware they have it!

• In the early stages there are no

symptoms of the disease. Hence
Glaucoma’s name, “the sneak thief of
sight.” Over time it can lead to
permanent blindness.

• With early diagnosis, proper

technology, and professional
treatment, 90% of those with
advanced glaucoma can be saved
from blindness. Be aware that not all
eye doctors have this technology
available.

33
Do you believe your eyes are absolutely
essential to your success & happiness?
What are some solutions to these problems?

34
Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Solution #1:

Choose the most attractive vision correction option
Understand and be aware of
the treatment options:
• Eyeglasses
• Contact lenses

• LASIK (or PRK)

35

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Some studies conclude that people look
more attractive without eyeglasses
• People who wear

eyeglasses are found less
physically attractive.
Hasart , J. K. Hutchinson , K. L. (1993). The effects of eyeglasses on
perceptions of interpersonal-attraction. Journal of Social
Behavior and Personality

• Swapping glasses for

contact lenses
significantly increased
attractiveness to the
opposite sex.

Contacts dramatically improve quality of life
for children and teens
Two major studies prove that
contacts improve self-esteem
in children and teens
Contact lenses also improved
• self perception of physical
appearance
• social acceptance
• athletic competence
• academic performance
Correction of Myopia Evaluation Trial (COMET) performed by Stony Brook
University School of Medicine (New York)

The Adolescent and Child Health Initiative to Encourage Vision Empowerment (ACHIEVE) study

Build confidence in your child with contacts!
37
Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
If you choose life without eyeglasses….
Choose contacts or LASIK
Know that there are contact lens
options for virtually everyone:
• Dry eye patients
• Astigmatism
• Bifocals
• Extended overnight wear
38

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
If you prefer eyeglasses…….
• Be in style! Have multiple pairs - they

are your finest wardrobe accessory.
• Coordinate with your various

outfits, buy different colors and
different types for all occasions
(business, sports, leisure).
• You don’t wear the same shoes every

day. Don’t wear the same glasses
every day.
39

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Lenses are just as important as
your frames for a great look!
• Choose anti-reflective lenses

for the best appearance and
Trivex lenses for a lighter and
thinner look and excellent
optics
• Get advice from a

knowledgeable eyewear
stylist at a reputable optical
store for the best frame
shape for your face
Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates

40
Get the most accurate optical Rx
to be assured of maximum performance

Solution #2

• Your optical prescription

should be determined by a
doctor, not a technician.

• Find a doctor that

guarantees Rx accuracy.

41

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
To get the best performance
with eyeglasses:
Choose high definition digital lenses
• Especially if you are using progressive power

lenses (such as MyFocal HD brand)

Choose Trivex lenses to get:
•
•
•
•
•

Sharpest clarity
Built in Ultra Violet protection
Shatter and impact-resistant
Scratch-resistant coating
Lightest weight and maximum wearing
comfort
• Enhanced peripheral vision (good for driving)

Choose anti-reflective lenses
•
•
•
•
•

For less glare and better vision
To look cosmetically more attractive to others
To Reduce eye strain
To Improve night vision
Brands such as Clear ShieldÂŽ and CrizalÂŽ
42

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
To get the best performance if you
choose contact lenses:
1. Seek an eye care professional

that prescribes all major
brands of contacts
2. Be sure the exam and contact
lens analysis is performed by
the doctor, not a technician
3. Choose an eye doctor with a
contact lens guarantee

43

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Choose an eye doctor that prescribes but Does
NOT sell eyeglasses and contact lenses!
•

As you know doctors don’t sell
products; except eye doctors who sell
contacts and eyeglasses

•

Most eye doctors derive up to 70% of
their income from the sale of contacts
and eyeglasses.*

•

Eye doctors that sell contacts and
glasses benefit financially more from
some products than from others so
they are greatly influenced in what
brands and products they prescribe

*Source: Management and Business Academy For Eye Care Professionals

Doctors that
sell contact
lenses &
glasses

44

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Eye doctors that sell products are likely to prescribe what
is best for them, not what is best for the patient!
• To be assured of the best contacts

and eyeglass lenses for
you, choose a doctor that only
prescribes and manages contacts
but does not actually sell the
lenses in their office.

Choose an eye
doctor with the
highest ethical
standards.

• To get the best performance you

must be in the optical product
best for you-not what is most
profitable for the Dr.
45

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Solution #3:

Get thorough eye care every year
to detect problems early
• The American Optometric

Association recommends
annual eye exams

• Do not settle for a typical

“vision insurance exam”.
• Insist on a comprehensive

dilated retinal exam

• Or a scanning laser

ophthalmoscopy if you
dislike the dilation
46

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Get a refraction eye exam and new optical
prescription at least every year
• Your eyes change subtly and

regularly
• To maintain maximum clarity

and vision performance you
should get an updated optical
prescription every year

47

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Solution #4:

Choose an eye doctor with ultimate technology
• Harvard University found that

misdiagnosis accounted for 14% of
all adverse events and that 75% of
these errors involved negligence
• One report found that 28% of 583

diagnostic mistakes were life
threatening or had resulted in death
or permanent disability
48
Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Why instrument technology plays a major
role in your eye health
Many Doctors DO NOT HAVE the state of the art instruments needed to diagnose eye
diseases at their earliest stages

• It is simple - you get the most accurate

diagnosis and treatment at the earliest possible
time when the Dr. uses the best technology
• Find an eye doctor group that is established

and has the financial resources to invest in the
best technology
• Eye care instruments advance at a rapid rate

and many doctors are not able to afford stateof-the-art technology
49

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
The best instrument technology enables the earliest
and most accurate detection of eye diseases
• The instrument to diagnose one of

the biggest risk factors for macular
degeneration is very rare among eye
doctors. The instrument evaluates the
macular pigment optical density
• That test is the best way to evaluate a

serious risk for AMD that can be
improved with treatment

50

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Some corneal diseases and contact lens
problems can be diagnosed earlier
• Using a highly specialized

microscope with 400x
magnification allows cells
of the cornea to be studied
• This instrument is very rare

among eye doctors

51

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Choose an eye doctor
with highest ethical standards
• Remember, choose an eye care

professional that provides only
medical eye care services
• Do NOT choose an eye doctor

that also sells eyeglasses and
contacts within their office
Eye doctors that sell products are greatly
influenced by what they sell because they
derive most of their profit from these items!
52

We asked a group of people to think about some things they’ve
intended to do and know they need to do but haven’t got
around to it.
Then we asked: What are the reasons for “putting these things off?”

The almost unanimous conclusion was:

1.Lack of money
2.Lack of time

53

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates

A real life study on how this works
Case Study
• Janet is a young professional climbing upward in

her career. She prefers contact lenses for her
active lifestyle and because they make her look
her best. She lost her boxes of contacts returning
home from a business trip so needed to get care
immediately. Since she works M-F and Sat
mornings she had to take off work and lose pay to
get her care since the doctor she found on her
insurance wasn’t open weekends. She wasn’t
able to get an appointment for several days and
actually felt so self-conscious with her old glasses
that she gave up her weekend plans rather than
be embarrassed.

• The eye doctor she visited prescribed a new

brand for her but the contacts were not very
comfortable late in the day or after a lot of
reading. She purchased the boxes of lenses
directly from the eye doctor because she felt a
level of intimidation even though she felt they
were overpriced.

Continued on next slide
57

Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
Real life benefits you can see and feel
• After a month of lens awareness she wanted to try

different lenses and went for a second opinion to a
doctor by referral from a friend. She was happy to
find out she could get an appointment the same
day she called, which was a Friday; or she could
come in on Saturday or Sunday! No missed time off
and immediate assistance.

• Since this eye doctor doesn’t sell contacts they only

prescribe what is best for the patient. Nothing else
matters – just the patient’s welfare. The doctor
prescribed a new brand of lens that was the most
comfortable the patient had ever experienced. In
fact, she could not feel any lens in her eyes at all!
The eye doctor gave her the contact lens
prescription and even told her where to shop to get
the lowest price!

Very happy lady!

• Wow! The highest ethical standards and the most

convenient service also resulted in the most
comfortable lens ever at the lowest price possible
with an exclusive comfort fit guarantee that
assured her of the best possible outcome!

• Computerized Visual Field Test detects reduced vision or small blind spots in

your central or peripheral vision. Important for early detection of retinal
disease, glaucoma and neurological problems. This test should be performed if
you have any of the following risk factors: Hispanic, African- American, over age
40, family history of glaucoma, diabetes, and/or hypertension.
• Digital Retinal Photography A digital high definition photo of your retina (tissue
of the back of the eye) performed without dilation provides our doctors with an
in-depth view of the retina and the ability to share the image with you during
your exam. The procedure allows us to detect problems and diseases such as
macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal holes/detachments, hypertension, and
diabetic retinopathy.
• We strongly recommend that ALL patients have these tests every year.
* Not valid if tests are covered by insurance.

  • 34. Do you believe your eyes are absolutely essential to your success & happiness? What are some solutions to these problems? 34 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 35. Solution #1: Choose the most attractive vision correction option Understand and be aware of the treatment options: • Eyeglasses • Contact lenses • LASIK (or PRK) 35 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 36. Some studies conclude that people look more attractive without eyeglasses • People who wear eyeglasses are found less physically attractive. Hasart , J. K. Hutchinson , K. L. (1993). The effects of eyeglasses on perceptions of interpersonal-attraction. Journal of Social Behavior and Personality • Swapping glasses for contact lenses significantly increased attractiveness to the opposite sex. http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6995868 36 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates

Contacts dramatically improve quality of life for children and teens Two major studies prove that contacts improve self-esteem in children and teens Contact lenses also improved • self perception of physical appearance • social acceptance • athletic competence • academic performance Correction of Myopia Evaluation Trial (COMET) performed by Stony Brook University School of Medicine (New York) The Adolescent and Child Health Initiative to Encourage Vision Empowerment (ACHIEVE) study Build confidence in your child with contacts! 37 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 38. If you choose life without eyeglasses…. Choose contacts or LASIK Know that there are contact lens options for virtually everyone: • Dry eye patients • Astigmatism • Bifocals • Extended overnight wear 38 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 39. If you prefer eyeglasses……. • Be in style! Have multiple pairs - they are your finest wardrobe accessory. • Coordinate with your various outfits, buy different colors and different types for all occasions (business, sports, leisure). • You don’t wear the same shoes every day. Don’t wear the same glasses every day. 39 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 40. Lenses are just as important as your frames for a great look! • Choose anti-reflective lenses for the best appearance and Trivex lenses for a lighter and thinner look and excellent optics • Get advice from a knowledgeable eyewear stylist at a reputable optical store for the best frame shape for your face Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates 40
  • 41. Get the most accurate optical Rx to be assured of maximum performance Solution #2 • Your optical prescription should be determined by a doctor, not a technician. • Find a doctor that guarantees Rx accuracy. 41 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 42. To get the best performance with eyeglasses: Choose high definition digital lenses • Especially if you are using progressive power lenses (such as MyFocal HD brand) Choose Trivex lenses to get: • • • • • Sharpest clarity Built in Ultra Violet protection Shatter and impact-resistant Scratch-resistant coating Lightest weight and maximum wearing comfort • Enhanced peripheral vision (good for driving) Choose anti-reflective lenses • • • • • For less glare and better vision To look cosmetically more attractive to others To Reduce eye strain To Improve night vision Brands such as Clear ShieldÂŽ and CrizalÂŽ 42 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 43. To get the best performance if you choose contact lenses: 1. Seek an eye care professional that prescribes all major brands of contacts 2. Be sure the exam and contact lens analysis is performed by the doctor, not a technician 3. Choose an eye doctor with a contact lens guarantee 43 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 44. Choose an eye doctor that prescribes but Does NOT sell eyeglasses and contact lenses! • As you know doctors don’t sell products; except eye doctors who sell contacts and eyeglasses • Most eye doctors derive up to 70% of their income from the sale of contacts and eyeglasses.* • Eye doctors that sell contacts and glasses benefit financially more from some products than from others so they are greatly influenced in what brands and products they prescribe *Source: Management and Business Academy For Eye Care Professionals Doctors that sell contact lenses & glasses 44 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 45. Eye doctors that sell products are likely to prescribe what is best for them, not what is best for the patient! • To be assured of the best contacts and eyeglass lenses for you, choose a doctor that only prescribes and manages contacts but does not actually sell the lenses in their office. Choose an eye doctor with the highest ethical standards. • To get the best performance you must be in the optical product best for you-not what is most profitable for the Dr. 45 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 46. Solution #3: Get thorough eye care every year to detect problems early • The American Optometric Association recommends annual eye exams • Do not settle for a typical “vision insurance exam”. • Insist on a comprehensive dilated retinal exam • Or a scanning laser ophthalmoscopy if you dislike the dilation 46 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 47. Get a refraction eye exam and new optical prescription at least every year • Your eyes change subtly and regularly • To maintain maximum clarity and vision performance you should get an updated optical prescription every year 47 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 48. Solution #4: Choose an eye doctor with ultimate technology • Harvard University found that misdiagnosis accounted for 14% of all adverse events and that 75% of these errors involved negligence • One report found that 28% of 583 diagnostic mistakes were life threatening or had resulted in death or permanent disability 48 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 49. Why instrument technology plays a major role in your eye health Many Doctors DO NOT HAVE the state of the art instruments needed to diagnose eye diseases at their earliest stages • It is simple - you get the most accurate diagnosis and treatment at the earliest possible time when the Dr. uses the best technology • Find an eye doctor group that is established and has the financial resources to invest in the best technology • Eye care instruments advance at a rapid rate and many doctors are not able to afford stateof-the-art technology 49 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 50. The best instrument technology enables the earliest and most accurate detection of eye diseases • The instrument to diagnose one of the biggest risk factors for macular degeneration is very rare among eye doctors. The instrument evaluates the macular pigment optical density • That test is the best way to evaluate a serious risk for AMD that can be improved with treatment 50 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 51. Some corneal diseases and contact lens problems can be diagnosed earlier • Using a highly specialized microscope with 400x magnification allows cells of the cornea to be studied • This instrument is very rare among eye doctors 51 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 52. Choose an eye doctor with highest ethical standards • Remember, choose an eye care professional that provides only medical eye care services • Do NOT choose an eye doctor that also sells eyeglasses and contacts within their office Eye doctors that sell products are greatly influenced by what they sell because they derive most of their profit from these items! 52 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 53. We asked a group of people to think about some things they’ve intended to do and know they need to do but haven’t got around to it. Then we asked: What are the reasons for “putting these things off?” The almost unanimous conclusion was: 1.Lack of money 2.Lack of time 53 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates

  • 57. A real life study on how this works Case Study • Janet is a young professional climbing upward in her career. She prefers contact lenses for her active lifestyle and because they make her look her best. She lost her boxes of contacts returning home from a business trip so needed to get care immediately. Since she works M-F and Sat mornings she had to take off work and lose pay to get her care since the doctor she found on her insurance wasn’t open weekends. She wasn’t able to get an appointment for several days and actually felt so self-conscious with her old glasses that she gave up her weekend plans rather than be embarrassed. • The eye doctor she visited prescribed a new brand for her but the contacts were not very comfortable late in the day or after a lot of reading. She purchased the boxes of lenses directly from the eye doctor because she felt a level of intimidation even though she felt they were overpriced. Continued on next slide 57 Copyright 2013 Optometric Associates of Texas PA - Master Eye Associates
  • 58. Real life benefits you can see and feel • After a month of lens awareness she wanted to try different lenses and went for a second opinion to a doctor by referral from a friend. She was happy to find out she could get an appointment the same day she called, which was a Friday; or she could come in on Saturday or Sunday! No missed time off and immediate assistance. • Since this eye doctor doesn’t sell contacts they only prescribe what is best for the patient. Nothing else matters – just the patient’s welfare. The doctor prescribed a new brand of lens that was the most comfortable the patient had ever experienced. In fact, she could not feel any lens in her eyes at all! The eye doctor gave her the contact lens prescription and even told her where to shop to get the lowest price! Very happy lady! • Wow! The highest ethical standards and the most convenient service also resulted in the most comfortable lens ever at the lowest price possible with an exclusive comfort fit guarantee that assured her of the best possible outcome!
