• We retail the full line of We Love Eyes products, as well as OTC drops. With the recent recalls, consumers are more focused on finding products their ECP would endorse. When we inquire about their eyes feeling dry or cosmetics that cause irritation, patients often report experiencing issues. We can then direct them to a solution. These products account for a small amount of our total revenue, but it adds value for the patient. — Becky F., Golden, CO
• The doctors talk to the patients in the chair about the supplements available to them. They’re a very small fraction of the overall business, but we have them more as a convenience for patients. — Brent M., Lancaster, PA
• We specialize in dry eye, so we carry two different heat masks, supplements, lid spray, etc. We’re currently testing cosmetic products designed for eye health which we’ll carry soon. We also offer readers. — Kelsey B., Winston Salem, NC
• We offer supplements and dry eye care products. — Vlad C., Hackensack, NJ
• We carry the EyePromise supplements and sign patients up for auto ship. We also sell Bruder masks quite frequently and a small assortment of OTC readers. — Stephanie P., Mount Vernon, OH
• All the above, about 5% of our revenue. — Tory M., Dumas, TX
• Vitamins and drops for dry eye and AMD. Also Lumify, Pataday, and some rewetting drops. The doctors will talk about them to patients before bringing them to checkout. — Caitlin N., Montrose, CO
• Our section includes Pataday, Babe Lash, Refresh, Systane, lid cleansers, heat masks, macular protect pills, ARED pills, as well as other dry eye supplies. Our doctors prescribe any drops or supplements from the exam chair. They represent about 2% of our sales. — Ann-Marie W., Lewis Center, OH
• We carry Lumify, which is a best seller, 40-60 readers, Oyo boxes, various styles of eyeglasses chains, a few handbags and umbrellas (just for fun). We don’t really market at all. It’s sprinkled throughout the store. It’s about 4% of our total sales. — Joni S., Iowa City, IA
• Supplements, dry eye accessories, and skincare. — Lisa S.e, Vancouver, WA
• Yes, currently we sell straps, chains, readers, cleaning kits, and vitamins. Very small profit. Mainly keep them in stock to be convenient for patients. — Colby S., Dothan, AL
• We sell readers and plano blue light glasses $95 and up. Also large cleaning cloths, spray bottles and kitsch accessories like eyeglass chains, key rings, and coin bags with eye motifs. It’s less than 10% of sales. — Cinda A., Barrington, RI
• I’m building that out right now. Starting with OTC drops not readily available at grocery stores and high-quality OTC readers. — Ben T., Miami, FL

• We do not have the space. — Pablo M, Woodstock, GA
• Been down that road too many times to count. Dry eye masks, readers, solutions, clip-ons, croakies … every one a waste of time and resources. It simply doesn’t make sense to chase those sales when the products are available for less elsewhere. I’d rather focus on what I am best at. — Kevin C, Glenview, IL
• We don’t have a doctor. — Jennifer Y, Canandaigua, NY
