1. Virtual Frame Try-On

A QR on the display case links to a virtual try-on tool where customers hold their phone up and see frames on their own face. Reduces time spent handling frames and increases online ordering confidence.

2. Prescription Explanation

After a test, a QR on the prescription printout links to a guide explaining sphere, cylinder, axis, and add values in plain language. Customers who understand their prescription ask better questions.

3. Lens Options

A QR links to a lens comparison page: single vision versus varifocal, coatings, photochromic options, and price ranges. Customers arrive at the dispensing table informed, reducing consultation time.

4. Eye Health Resources

A QR in the waiting room links to eye health guides: screen fatigue, early glaucoma symptoms, diabetic eye screening reminders, and children's vision milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an optician use QR for appointment reminders?

Yes. A QR on the appointment card links to a reminder sign-up page or directly to the practice calendar for reschedules.

Does a virtual try-on QR require an app?

Modern web-based try-on tools use the browser camera via WebRTC. No app install needed, which removes friction.
