“It’s better to be average and
good-looking than brilliant and unattractive.”
This is the new reality of the job market,” says one New York job
recruiter, who asked to have her name withheld due for personal privacy.

The Question Is: What makes us physically attractive?

Your eyes are the primary feature
that defines attractiveness
4 Independent Studies Revealed:
• The eyes are the first thing we notice, and the
facial feature we spend the most time looking
at when meeting an unfamiliar person.*
• Facial features are the most important
characteristics in attractiveness and eyes are
the most prominent feature of the face
• The features that command the most
attention, in order of importance, are:

Because your eyes
dominate your physical
attractiveness you should
evaluate and focus on your
vision correction options…..
to achieve your maximum attractiveness and help optimize
your career and income.

Glaucoma

Macular
Degeneration
(AMD)

Diabetic
Retinopathy

• Almost 3 million Americans ages 40+ are affected by this eye
disease. Many more don’t even know they have it!

• Research proves that AMD leads to an overall cognitive
decline in senior citizens resulting in more falls, severe
depression and an earlier death.
• Diabetic Retinopathy occurs in about 95% of patients with type 1
diabetes mellitus (DM).
• In the past 12 years, it has risen an alarming 89%.

Neglecting your eyes’ health could lead to a
terrifying and irreversible outcome
These diseases are virtually undetectable & can only be detected and treated with proper
technology at your eye doctor’s office
• More than 50% of people with

Glaucoma are not aware they have it!

• In the early stages there are no

symptoms of the disease. Hence
Glaucoma’s name, “the sneak thief of
sight.” Over time it can lead to
permanent blindness.

• With early diagnosis, proper

technology, and professional
treatment, 90% of those with
advanced glaucoma can be saved
from blindness. Be aware that not all
eye doctors have this technology
available.

The horrible devastation
caused by poor vision
• Ms. Rose xxxx, a

beautiful, active, pleasant
and independent 80 year
old lady recently told her
eye doctor, “My macular
degeneration is getting
worse. I wish it would
have been diagnosed
earlier. I hope I die before
it gets much worse.”
33


Do you believe your eyes are absolutely
essential to your success & happiness?
What are some solutions to these problems?

34

Solution #1:

Choose the most attractive vision correction option
Understand and be aware of
the treatment options:
• Eyeglasses
• Contact lenses

• LASIK (or PRK)

35


Some studies conclude that people look
more attractive without eyeglasses
• People who wear

eyeglasses are found
less physically
attractive.

• Swapping glasses for

contact lenses
significantly increased
attractiveness to the
opposite sex.

attraction. Journal of Social Behavior and Personality

Contacts dramatically improve quality of
life for children and teens
Two major studies prove that
contacts improve self-esteem
in children and teens
Contact lenses also improved
• self perception of physical
appearance
• social acceptance
• athletic competence
• academic performance
Correction of Myopia Evaluation Trial (COMET) performed by Stony Brook
University School of Medicine (New York)

Build confidence in your child with contacts!

37

If you choose life without eyeglasses….
Choose contacts or LASIK
Know that there are contact lens
options for virtually everyone:
• Dry eye patients
• Astigmatism
• Bifocals
• Extended overnight wear
38


If you prefer eyeglasses…….
• Be in style! Have multiple pairs - they

are your finest wardrobe accessory.
• Coordinate with your various

outfits, buy different colors and
different types for all occasions
(business, sports, leisure).
• You don’t wear the same shoes every

day. Don’t wear the same glasses
every day.
39

Lenses are just as important as
your frames for a great look!
• Choose anti-reflective lenses

for the best appearance and
Trivex lenses for a lighter and
thinner look and excellent
optics
• Get advice from a

knowledgeable eyewear
stylist at a reputable optical
store for the best frame
shape for your face
40

Get the most accurate optical Rx
to be assured of maximum performance

Solution #2

• Your optical prescription

should be determined by a
doctor, not a technician.

• Find a doctor that

guarantees Rx accuracy.

41

To get the best performance
with eyeglasses:
Choose high definition digital lenses
• Especially if you are using progressive power

lenses (such as MyFocal HD brand)

Choose Trivex lenses to get:
•
•
•
•
•

Sharpest clarity
Built in Ultra Violet protection
Shatter and impact-resistant
Scratch-resistant coating
Lightest weight and maximum wearing
comfort
• Enhanced peripheral vision (good for driving)

Choose anti-reflective lenses
•
•
•
•
•

For less glare and better vision
To look cosmetically more attractive to others
To Reduce eye strain
To Improve night vision
Brands such as Clear Shield® and Crizal®
42


To get the best performance if you
choose contact lenses:
1. Seek an eye care professional

that prescribes all major
brands of contacts
2. Be sure the exam and contact
lens analysis is performed by
the doctor, not a technician
3. Choose an eye doctor with a
contact lens guarantee

43


Choose an eye doctor that prescribes but Does
NOT sell eyeglasses and contact lenses!
•

As you know doctors don’t sell
products; except eye doctors who sell
contacts and eyeglasses

•

Most eye doctors derive up to 70% of
their income from the sale of contacts
and eyeglasses.*

•

Eye doctors that sell contacts and
glasses benefit financially more from
some products than from others so
they are greatly influenced in what
brands and products they prescribe

*Source: Management and Business Academy For Eye Care Professionals

Doctors that
sell contact
lenses &
glasses

44


Eye doctors that sell products are likely to prescribe what
is best for them, not what is best for the patient!
• To be assured of the best contacts

and eyeglass lenses for
you, choose a doctor that only
prescribes and manages contacts
but does not actually sell the
lenses in their office.

Choose an eye
doctor with the
highest ethical
standards.

• To get the best performance you

must be in the optical product
best for you-not what is most
profitable for the Dr.
45

Solution #3:

Get thorough eye care every year
to detect problems early
• The American Optometric

Association recommends
annual eye exams

• Do not settle for a typical

“vision insurance exam”.
• Insist on a comprehensive

dilated retinal exam

• Or a scanning laser

ophthalmoscopy if you
dislike the dilation
46


Get a refraction eye exam and new
optical prescription at least every year
• Your eyes change subtly and

regularly
• To maintain maximum clarity

and vision performance you
should get an updated optical
prescription every year

47

Solution #4:

Choose an eye doctor with ultimate technology
• Harvard University found that

misdiagnosis accounted for 14% of
all adverse events and that 75% of
these errors involved negligence
• One report found that 28% of 583

diagnostic mistakes were life
threatening or had resulted in death
or permanent disability
Source: HSPH.hardvard.org

48

Why instrument technology plays a
major role in your eye health
Many Doctors DO NOT HAVE the state of the art instruments needed to diagnose eye
diseases at their earliest stages

• It is simple - you get the most accurate

diagnosis and treatment at the earliest possible
time when the Dr. uses the best technology
• Find an eye doctor group that is established

and has the financial resources to invest in the
best technology
• Eye care instruments advance at a rapid rate

and many doctors are not able to afford stateof-the-art technology
49


The best instrument technology enables the earliest
and most accurate detection of eye diseases
• The instrument to diagnose one of

the biggest risk factors for macular
degeneration is very rare among eye
doctors. The instrument evaluates the
macular pigment optical density
• That test is the best way to evaluate a

serious risk for AMD that can be
improved with treatment

50


Some corneal diseases and contact lens
problems can be diagnosed earlier
• Using a highly specialized

microscope with 400x
magnification allows cells
of the cornea to be studied
• This instrument is very rare

among eye doctors

51


Choose an eye doctor
with highest ethical standards
• Remember, choose an eye care

professional that provides only
medical eye care services
• Do NOT choose an eye doctor

that also sells eyeglasses and
contacts within their office
Eye doctors that sell products are greatly
influenced by what they sell because they
derive most of their profit from these items!
52


We asked a group of people to think about some things they’ve
intended to do and know they need to do but haven’t got
around to it.
Then we asked: What are the reasons for “putting these things off?”

The almost unanimous conclusion was:

1.Lack of money
2.Lack of time

53


How do you find the right eye doctor
to solve these problems?
Look for a professional that you can trust that offers these features/benefits:

• Extended hours

• Same day appointments
• Walk-ins Welcome
• Multiple convenient

locations
• Providers on your
insurance panel
• Experienced/trained staff

Same Day Appointments
Walk-ins Welcome
7 Days a Week

54

More features you should demand
from your eye doctor
• High level technology to get through

your exam efficiently and accurately.
• Contact lens comfort guarantee
• Eyeglass prescription accuracy

guarantee

55


Choose an eye doctor with highest ethical
standards to get the best outcome for you
• Comprehensive educational

website
• Actual online scheduling, not

just requesting an appointment
• Provide medical eye care services

only – Do not sell glasses or
contacts within their office or
own an optical they refer to

Online appointment scheduling
at your convenience.

56

A real life study on how this works
Case Study
• Janet is a young professional climbing upward in

her career. She prefers contact lenses for her
active lifestyle and because they make her look
her best. She lost her boxes of contacts returning
home from a business trip so needed to get care
immediately. Since she works M-F and Sat
mornings she had to take off work and lose pay to
get her care since the doctor she found on her
insurance wasn’t open weekends. She wasn’t
able to get an appointment for several days and
actually felt so self-conscious with her old glasses
that she gave up her weekend plans rather than
be embarrassed.

• The eye doctor she visited prescribed a new

brand for her but the contacts were not very
comfortable late in the day or after a lot of
reading. She purchased the boxes of lenses
directly from the eye doctor because she felt a
level of intimidation even though she felt they
were overpriced.

Continued on next slide
57

Real life benefits you can see and feel
• After a month of lens awareness she wanted to try

different lenses and went for a second opinion to a
doctor by referral from a friend. She was happy to
find out she could get an appointment the same
day she called, which was a Friday; or she could
come in on Saturday or Sunday! No missed time off
and immediate assistance.

• Since this eye doctor doesn’t sell contacts they only

prescribe what is best for the patient. Nothing else
matters – just the patient’s welfare. The doctor
prescribed a new brand of lens that was the most
comfortable the patient had ever experienced. In
fact, she could not feel any lens in her eyes at all!
The eye doctor gave her the contact lens
prescription and even told her where to shop to get
the lowest price!

Very happy lady!

• Wow! The highest ethical standards and the most

convenient service also resulted in the most
comfortable lens ever at the lowest price possible
with an exclusive comfort fit guarantee that
assured her of the best possible outcome!

Testimonials
•

After visiting several doctors' offices over the last few weeks, this place was a breath of fresh
air. The assistant at the front desk was beyond courteous, friendly, and engaging. I was seen
very quickly by Dr. Kerns. She was very open, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.
I was given a copy of both my prescriptions as well as a 90 day window to come back should I
need to for anything, free of charge. Being from NYC, most eye doctors acted as if it wasn't
your right to have your prescription so I was pleasantly surprised by this. All of this WITH free
90-day follow-up? This just doesn't happen anymore...but it should. I highly recommend
Master Eye Associates.
-Andrea A.

I am definitely going back here for my next exam. This is the best service I've gotten in a
long, long time.
-Kathleen F.

•

It took 3 visits for me to find the right ones-and I ended up picking the brand I had before! But
there wasn't a note of irritation in her voice. She was happy to help, listen to me and even
give me insurance tips. Their online apt system is an added bonus because it makes it so
easy to schedule. I also appreciate that they are open until 6 pm. Overall, I would definitely
recommend Dr. Kerns.

Testimonials
•

Historically I have used walmart eye centers and decided to try a different office. I was
welcomed very warmly by the receptionist and treated very well during my visit. The Master
Eye doctor saw me that day and answered all my questions getting me set up with a new
style of contact lens that is working perfectly. It has been 3 weeks and I could not be any
happier with the comfort and the ease on my eyes. Needless to say I will not be returning
to walmart for my eye care. I will be happy to return and suggest to anyone needing an eye
care specialist in the Arbor Walk Center.

All of the staff at this location was absolutely wonderful. They were all very kind and helpful.

•

My experience with these optometrists was fantastic. The people who performed the
exams made the process as easy as possible by explaining every step (Answering the "What?"
and the "Why?" before we could even ask) but they did it with touch of friendliness.

•

It was nice to not have the staff pressuring you to buy glasses from them. Since they don’t
sell glasses, there was no high pressure sale tactics to endure.

I hope you pass this message on to Dr. Lacey. After an entire year of using improperly
prescribed glasses from another Dr., and not being able to see very well, I came to Dr.
Lacey and he prescribed glasses that I am using right now to watch TV. and they are CLEAR

• Computerized Visual Field Test detects reduced vision or small blind spots in

your central or peripheral vision. Important for early detection of retinal
disease, glaucoma and neurological problems. This test should be performed
if you have any of the following risk factors: Hispanic, African- American, over
age 40, family history of glaucoma, diabetes, and/or hypertension.
• Digital Retinal Photography A digital high definition photo of your retina
(tissue of the back of the eye) performed without dilation provides our
doctors with an in-depth view of the retina and the ability to share the image
with you during your exam. The procedure allows us to detect problems and
diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal
holes/detachments, hypertension, and diabetic retinopathy.
• We strongly recommend that ALL patients have these tests every year.
* Not valid if tests are covered by insurance.
