Nikki Iravani, OD, of EyeXam in Santa Clara, California, has found that her website announcement that she is available for virtual visits has generated a significant number of new in-person patients. “Simply saying that I am available for virtual visits has made people contact the office.

In addition, the receptionist will explain why a comprehensive eye exam is something that needs to happen in person,” she says.
