Review of Optometic Business

Thao Truong, OD, of ForSight Eye Center in Cumming, GA, had specific design elements built into her exam rooms, contact lens area and staff lounge that improve office flow, help her to communicate with patients and their families, and make her staff feel comfortable and appreciated. Small details, she says, make an enormous difference in the efficiency of a practice. This is the second part of a video series on the impact of design in the function of the optometric office.

Barbara L. Wright, CID, of Barbara Wright Design, created a new office for Thao Truong, OD, of ForSight Eye Center in Cumming, Ga., that incorporates rich materials and personal touches in an open and airy environment. With attention to details like layered lighting, accent colors and unique textures, the design of the dispensary makes for a top level optical retail space in a medical setting. When design elements work well together, they differentiate a practice and provide a competitive edge.
