Essilor of America is doubling down on its support of private practice through expanded and new partnership programs designed to give them the financial freedom to dispense the products they believe are medically and visually best for their patients. Beginning on Sept. 1, 2020, Essilor Experts, Essilor’s flagship partnership program, will be enriched through a new Essilor Preferred Rewards (EPR) points program which increases points based on which brands Essilor Experts prescribe, giving them the financial flexibility to recommend the Essilor brands they believe are best for their patients.

This reward enhances the already robust offering of Essilor Experts which includes a proprietary lens analytics dashboard, extensive training, patient traffic now driven by television featuring Essilor Experts and bolstered by digital advertising, prioritized positioning across locators, and exclusive SmartBook technology which converts patient demand to booked appointments.
