This is what your ophthalmology patients want to see

Lately, we’ve talking to opticians and ophthalmology clinics and we’re amazed to find out how many of them are missing out on a simple way to support their patients and increase their revenue. When we tell them about Chrysalis payment options, it has opened up to a new way of thinking. As a result, we are signing up more opticians and ophthalmology clinics as partners than ever before, so we wondered – are you offering payment options?

What are payment options?

Put simply, payment options give your patients the choice to pay for their spectacles, contact lenses or ophthalmology treatment in monthly instalments. We provide finance agreements and the patient has a monthly payment plan. 

And it is simple. It’s easy to set you up as a Chrysalis partner, easy for patients to apply, and  Chrysalis deal with all the finance side of things, leaving you to concentrate on your patient. 

Why your patients want to see payment options

It’s surprising how many people will put off dealing with vision problems because they’re not sure how much it’s going to cost. When glasses and contact lenses can hundreds of pounds and some ophthalmology treatments can cost thousands, being able to pay monthly is a huge benefit to a patient. 

Eyesight is one of those things that people take for granted until it starts to fail them. Correcting vision is transformational for many people, even when their prescription is relatively mild. Knowing they can address the situation early and manage how they pay for their specs or contact lenses allows them to feel more control over their situation. As age-related vision changes occur, a monthly payment plan acts similarly to other areas of their budget such as car leases and TV subscriptions. They can build it into their budget and continue to update their prescription without feeling they need to plunder their savings or save up until they have enough for a one off payment.

For ophthalmology treatments, it means they can choose to go private and have the peace of mind that they can have a treatment sooner rather than later because the finance is sorted. The treatment can take place and they can then pay for it in monthly instalments.

What offering payment options means for you

Chrysalis payment options mean you can offer your patients what they want. It brings forward treatments, removing the delays that patients often self-impose. This not only gives you a greater sense of delivering on your vocation to patient care, but it also increases your patient revenue, particularly in an optician setting, where payment options often mean that patients can choose more premium frames or lens finishes because they can spread the cost of them.

So, how does it work?

We’ve said it’s simple, and it is. Here’s how it works:

1. You apply to become a Chrysalis partner. As the UK health sector’s leading ethical, caring provider of finance, we already work with many opticians and clinics across the UK. 
2. We run checks and when we get the green light we set you up with the system. We train your team and provide marketing materials to help you let your patients know they can now pay monthly.
3. Patients follow the simple application procedure, which gives them an almost instant decision. The patient can choose their glasses or lenses, or in a clinic, you can book their treatment in, and Chrysalis credits the cost to you. There is nothing more for you to do on the finance side; we manage payment plan directly with the patient.
