They realise that if they do not take care of their eyes they run the risk of suffering from failing eyesight, or worse losing their sight entirely.

People are far more aware of diseases that affect the eyes than they once were. Press coverage about subjects such as age related macular degeneration and glaucoma have considerably raised awareness of eye health issues amongst the general population. In addition, because ...
... more and more people are suffering from diseases such as diabetes, which can lead to blindness demand the specialist eye care has grown. Patients with diabetes understand that should their disease begin to affect their eyesight they can lose it very quickly.

People are aware of the fact that early diagnosis of glaucoma and macular degeneration is vital. They, quite rightly, believe that the earlier they become aware of these problems the sooner they can be treated and the less of their eyesight they will lose to these diseases.

All of this, has meant that for Viewpoint it has been really easy to sell OCT scans to their existing customer base. However, what has taken them by surprise if the number of people who are coming to them from their competitors.
