Dr. Carlin – Welcome Heather (tech)! As you know, we are still looking for technicians. If you refer an employee and they complete their 90 days, you will earn 8 hours of PTO.
This practice started in 1977. Our 50 year anniversary is coming up and as it approaches, I want to thank everyone for helping with the CarlinVision experience and the level of service we all provide.
Technicians – Physicians agreed that patients can be dilated prior to testing.
All glasses prescriptions will now be printed in Optical. This will give the opticians an opportunity to discuss patients’ benefits and glasses.
We’ve made our first pair of Stellest glasses. These glasses are designed to slow the progression of myopia.
New interocular lens available – Pursee. Provides patients with distance and intermediate vision.
