Making the decision to relocate an existing business isn’t necessarily a difficult one.
As the optometric practice of Michael C. Zak, O.D., P.L.C. approaches the one year anniversary of their new location at 6445 Citation Dr., Dr. Zak is sure he made the right choice. He stated, ‘Both our existing patients and new patients appreciate the traffic light access to M-15, as well as the ample parking available in front of the building. Giving directions is never a problem when you’re across the street from Independence Fire Station 1.?
But while ‘location, location, location? still rings true, it should only be part of the decision in choosing the primary eyecare provider for you and your family. ‘It may seem that I’m stating the obvious, but how well we see directly affects our quality of life and how well we process information in school and the workplace,? said Dr. Zak. ‘It’s an important decision.?
In Dr. Zak’s office, an examination always focuses on the whole patient, not just their eyes. ‘Good primary eyecare involves getting to know our patients. A comprehensive primary eyecare examination always involves a good patient history, a precise refraction to determine the patient’s best possible vision and thorough eye health evaluation,? said Dr. Zak. ‘If there is a vision related or medical eye problem, good communication is very important. There’s almost always a treatment choice to be made.?
With regard to refractive surgery, Dr. Zak said, ‘LASIK or CK is a lifestyle issue, and a well informed patient is a happy patient.?
‘Contact lens wearers have never had so many choices. Higher quality biocompatible materials are available in virtually every prescription including astigmatic and bifocal designs. I emphasize to patients, you wouldn’t use a 15-year-old computer, so why wear a contact lens made from a 15-year-old material??
For Dr. Zak’s existing and new patients who do wear glasses, they are seeing better than ever. He said, ‘When I moved the office, I was committed to two things pertaining to the dispensary: one, finding a local lab that consistently provided the highest quality lens fabrication, premium patented no line bifocal designs and lens surface treatments available; and two, provide a quality frame selection of current best selling designs of major manufacturers.?
For example, Teflon Clear Coat Lenses, a new unique development in lens technology from SOLA International and Dupont. Ordinary lenses cause reflections that create hazy, fuzzy ghost images and haloes. Teflon Clear Coat Lenses eliminate lens reflections, so you get the clearest vision available in eyeglasses. Dr. Zak said, ‘Two out of three patients who purchase eyewear from our dispensary choose Teflon Clear Coat Lenses and the feedback is very positive. Not only do you see better, but those lenses look better in today’s current frame styles from our dispensary. We feature Polo, Nike Flexon, Burberry, Gucci, Nine West, Kate Spade, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers and Fossil.?
‘We provide the highest quality primary eyecare for your family, and offer the most up to date ophthalmic materials to fit any lifestyle. On our one year anniversary at this new location, I and my staff would like to thank our patients for choosing us for their eyecare, and for their kind referrals.?
