Sample contact lens kits

Shelves filled with organized plastic storage trays and boxes in various colors, holding medical or office supplies, stacked neatly against a wall in a well-lit room.

Improving contact lens kits for decades

Contact Lens Kits have been used since the advent of disposable contact lenses in the 1990’s

Contact lens companies used to each have their own kit system

Five multi-drawer storage carts on wheels, each holding various trays and boxes, arranged in a row against a white background. The carts have labels and different colored trays.

Kit designs that make a difference

Kit designs with better functionality drove much innovation from the mid 1990’s through 2019

A box labeled Radiant Chic brand contact lenses with UV blocking sits beside several blister packs, each containing a single brown contact lens.

Helping manufacturers maximize sample kit ROI

Manufacturers provide each doctor or retail location with product samples to ensure new patients can be fit in that brand or lens. Manufacturers sales reps strive to get their kits in as many offices as possible, while marketing likes to see that as kits and samples have a tremendous ROI.

Elevate now handles the entire kit supply chain in-house, so the Planning and Operations teams at Manufacturers can avoid many complexities of execution.

A few reasons to use Elevate’s
Industry Kit

Universal solution - holds nearly every trial pack size in customized, labeled trays 
Flexibility – modular design can be configured to meet nearly any need 
Intuitive layouts – based on doctor’s prescribing behavior.  
Space efficient in doctor office, helping reduce space required for kits, and streamlining this previously messy and chaotic area of the practice. 
Aesthetics, functionality and durability – as proved across nearly 1 Million installation. 
Doctor preferred. Many requests to eliminate other kits in favor of the industry standard solution. 
Low investment: Elevate owns and maintains the tooling, saving each customer $500k - $1M in CAPEX

Other kits are often placed out of sight, reducing fitting behavior

These kits also do not benefit from Elevate’s industry expertise:

Intuitive and industry-standard layouts - so the doctor can find the lens they need
High impact branding and labeling
Quality to last 10-20 years, or more
Just-in-Time deliveries to match demand
