Eye Care Facts and Myths Brochure

Educated patients cooperate more readily in their own care, experience less anxiety and are more likely to have realistic recovery goals. Academy brochures are one of the most effective ways to inform and educate your patients and to reinforce what you tell them in your office. Written in a nonclinical, easy-to-comprehend style with helpful illustrations, brochures are perfect reference tools for patients to take home.
