IDEAS That Work
EYEGLASS CASES
No More Lost Eyeglasses
M
any of our patients were leaving
their eyeglasses behind after having
surgery. We would find them hidden
on a pre-op bed or on a bedside table in postop. To solve the problem, we purchased eyeglass cases with our logo on them for patients
to use. If, for example, patients need their
glasses to read and sign consents in pre-op,
we'll put their glasses in a case and place the
case inside the bag holding their clothes and
belongings before they're wheeled into the
OR.

SAFE KEEPING FOR SPECS
Your eyeglass-wearing patients will
appreciate an eyeglass case to store
their spectacles during surgery.
