With a few months of getting back to business under their belts, eyecare practices from coast to coast are experiencing a solid recovery from the Covid-19 crisis closures.

“Demand for eyecare services remains strong going into the end of summer,” says Evan Kestenbaum, co-founder and COO of GPN. “Though some practices have closed their doors for good or consolidated satellite locations, an increasing number of locations are seeing double-digit revenue growth compared to the same month last year.”

While exams and sales have slowed a bit since the numbers revealed a reopening boost from pent-up demand in June, all eyecare services continue to show a solid recovery over the drop realized from closures in April and May. One key takeaway: A stronger showing from patient payments reveals that many practices are seeing higher capture rates and average sale prices than before due to the pandemic.

Read on for the revealing real-time data from GPN covering more than 2,900 practice locations across the U.S., served up in partnership with Eyecare Business. We are tracking practice exams, patient payments, plus frame, lens, and contact lens sales from coast to coast on a weekly and monthly basis.
