SneadCataract offers Spectangle App for personalized lenses.

SneadCataract can now answer that question using the latest technological advancements from Hoya Vision Care. SneadCataract opticians can now utilize an iPad application called Spectangle allowing patients to visualize how their new glasses will work for them. Spectangle allows opticians to take photos using the iPad camera, make adjustments on the screen, enter in Rx data and lifestyle preferences and then push a button to send the order to the lab.

During the lifestyling process of prescribing eyeglasses, opticians learn what is important to each patient and how they expect to use their eyewear. With Spectangle, this process becomes personalized using a precise technique to offer the best product available with the most accurate measurements. The Spectangle app eliminates many of the drawbacks necessary in prescribing personalized eyeglasses such as common frame fitting errors. By taking a picture of the patient with the frames on and reviewing the image with the patient, these issues can be addressed quickly and rectified.

"Every picture tells a story so if the frame is sitting improperly on a patient's face, it is easily detected and corrected while the patient is still in the office," said Dr. John W. Snead, M.D., F.A.C.S., founder and medical director of SneadCataract.

"This app will go a long way in improving patient satisfaction," said SneadCataract optical manager Nancy Bragaw-Patten. "We take pride in educating our patients in order to offer them the best products available."

Founded by Dr. Snead in 1985, SneadCataract provides comprehensive eye care, including eye surgery to patients in Lee, Collier and surrounding counties.
