Social media has become an integral part of how we communicate, connect, and share information. For eyecare professionals (ECPs), leveraging social media platforms can be a powerful tool for building brand awareness, engaging with patients, and educating the public about eye health.

In this blog post, we'll explore how ECPs can effectively utilize social media to enhance their practice.

We've all committed to it, and the majority are sticking to it: "No lenses outside of ANSI Standards." As an industry, we rely on ANSI to define what's acceptable and what's not.

In today's digital age, online reviews wield significant power over businesses.

March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ birthday and the kick-off to National Reading Month which celebrates and encourages reading for all ages. Here at Eye Q Eyewear, this classic children's author has a special place in our hearts as we design and manufacture the Dr. Seuss collection of children’s eyewear.

We've decided to partner with our favorite local lab (IcareLabs, of course!) to offer a promotion in celebration of Dr. Seuss and National Reading Month! From now until the end of March, we will donate $1 for every Dr. Seuss frame sold by IcareLabs. Even better, they have generously offered to match us 1 for 1 with a donation for a total of $2 per frame!
