Amy Jacobs - Director of Contact Lens Program at Cool Springs Eye Care and
Donelson Eye Care
Contact Lens Care - COVID particularly has an effect on contact lens care - because
contact lens users touch their face and eyes often - patients cannot be seen for contact
lens appointments b/c practices are only being seen for urgencies
The practice is extending contact prescriptions 6 months and shipping for home delivery
at no charge
Can COVID be transmitted via the tears? - Can contacts be worn normally? - All
concerns for patients wearing contact lenses
Contacts safer for children playing sports
GVSS - type of contact that is a hard lens you sleep in and helps to reshape the cornea
- it can help slow down the progression of some vision issues - it is different than a daily
lens, typically used for longer periods of time

A Better Way For Doctors & Patients Are you a doctor who wants to give patients the
best care, yet struggle with the demands of managing the clinic and the business? Or
are you a patient who’s tired of poor service, impolite greetings, and providers in a
rush? Doctors Jeff and Susan Kegarise are here to give you hope. There is a better
way?for both patients and doctors. In One Patient At A Time, they open the doors to
their Nashville practice to let patients see how leadership, systems, staff, and doctors
combine to deliver patient-focused, relationship-driven care. And they show doctors how
to provide this kind of care by giving specific, implementable steps that drive a culture of
service to patients?one that patients clearly see as unique, enjoyable, and a better
experience than the typical doctor visit. Read this book and you will never look at your
healthcare experience or your practice the same. And you will be better for it.
