It’s difficult for a person to find the time needed to schedule any kind of doctor’s appointment, let alone an appointment with their eye doctor. As one of the five senses, people know that vision is important to their daily lives, yet it tends to be one of the more neglected basic health issues.
In a recent anecdotal study done by 2020, patients listed, ‘time,’ ‘cost,’ and ‘not thinking about it’ as the top 3 deterrents to getting a regular eye exam. Mobile healthcare addresses these issues by making the solution accessible and easy to utilize. For example, 2020 On-site offers the following benefits:
-
High-Quality Equipment With state-of-the-art equipment, it is possible to get a 15 minute comprehensive eye exam, which includes a visual acuity test, auto-refraction test, pufftonometer, keratometry test and more, all to help check the health of your eye and correct your vision efficiently.
-
Convenience: You no longer have to travel to the doctor. The doctor comes to you. You can walk right out of your building and onto the vehicle to have an eye exam. The excuses are dwindling!
-
Utilization of Benefits: You are paying for your health insurance, so you should be getting the most out it. Mobile healthcare helps you make sure you are getting the bang for your buck and taking care of your basic preventative needs.
This is just one example of a mobile healthcare model that’s working for large populations of busy, working adults. Other examples include mobile flu clinics, mobile dentistry, etc. It’s important that our overall health is considered, so any increase in access to healthcare is a great one!
