The benefits of on-site glazing

Why should practices start thinking about on-site glazing?

Customer choice and expectations are increasingly growing with the amount of opticians available to choose from, which is why experience, added value and convenience is becoming more and more important. On-site glazing is becoming more popular, and we share our views on the benefits and what the technology can do for you:

Three smart reasons for on-site glazing

Offer patients a same-day, fast and efficient service

If you have ever imagined your patients walking away with a smile on their face as they receive their new spectacles the same day, well on-site glazing does just that. In short, on-site glazing solutions allow your customers to receive a fast, convenient and enhanced experience. “The main reason cited for purchasing glasses from a particular location is convenience” (GOC, Optical Sector Report 2015)… It can allow practices to provide an added value service which can also offer the added benefit of cost savings.

Reliability and quality control

On-site glazing allows you to control and guarantee the quality of each purchase. If that sounds too techy and complicated, it’s not. The latest NIDEK edging solutions are designed to be super simple to use and as you expect with NIDEK extremely reliable, even if you have no experience in glazing! We can even train staff within 15 minutes to feel comfortable using the machines.

Save money and offer a service for lens repairs

Ever had a frantic customer pop by and ask if you can re-glaze their frame because their lens is scratched or damaged? Being able to turn around and say ‘yes we can’ must be rewarding right? Plus, you can offer this as an added service to your practice! Another exciting thing about on-site glazing is it can help your practice save revenue by glazing your own lenses on site instead of paying to outsource the service. We also provide financially viable solutions for our customers to help start their on-site glazing journey.

In conclusion…

Send your patients away with their fancy new specs the same day, become a helpful provider by having the capacity to re-glaze on the same day and simply add value to your offering. Don’t forget, we’ll help you every step of the way.
