NEW YORK—A new national initiative has just launched to explore post-pandemic patient mindsets and to enable eyecare professionals to have productive and relevant conversations with patients. Called the
See Tomorrow campaign the program is a comprehensive new professional and consumer initiative from the
Contact Lens Institute (CLI), which is accompanied by new insights about how patient psyches surrounding vision, health care and their lives have changed over the course of the pandemic—and the ensuing opportunities for the optometry community. Later this month, there will be the debut of a U.S. consumer marketing campaign. It will include a national sweepstakes with more than $20,000 in prizes, digital advertising, and a consumer media tour with human behavior expert Collette Carlson as a high-profile spokesperson. CLI will provide practices with social media content in advance to help them spread word about eyecare’s role in helping people live richer, fulfilling lives as the country continues to emerge from the pandemic.
