Want to help keep patients and purchases in your optical dispensary with CareCredit? It's as easy as introducing CareCredit to patients to let existing cardholders know that you accept it. CareCredit can help you keep more patients from looking for alternatives outside of your practice. It's as easy as displaying marketing materials.

When patients have the flexibility to pay over time, they're more likely to commit to the treatments, upgrades and styles they really love and want. That way you can focus on what you do best — taking care of others.
