When EDK Optometrists introduced a new Myopia Management offering, they didn't just add a service they built an awareness campaign that set new records across every digital channel.

💡 The Challenge: Make Myopia Management Meaningful for Parents

Myopia (short-sightedness) is rapidly increasing in children, yet many parents are unaware that standard glasses only correct vision - they don’t slow its progression. EDK Optometrists needed to communicate this vital difference, introducing evidence-based treatment options like MiSight® daily contact lenses in a way that parents could understand and act on.

The Strategy: Ocumarketing Meets Real Education 🧩

NevadaCloud and CooperVision partnered with EDK Optometrists to launch a full Ocumarketing campaign, using a combination of:

  • 📧 Targeted patient emails (with powerful visuals, CTAs, and a blur simulator)
  • 📹 Website Homepage panel featuring the CooperVision MiSight® video and “Discover More”
  • 📝 Educational blogs covering myopia trends, treatment options and MiSight® lenses
  • 🔍 Links to the Practice Info Centre for patient self-education
  • 🌀 A Myopia Blur Simulator to raise awareness through visual experience

Homepage Panel with MiSight Video

Even after the Ocumarketing campaign ended, the homepage panel continues to drive steady traffic to the Myopia Management blog and video content - clearly proving that educational resources on myopia remain a powerful tool to generate interest in optometric care and treatment options.

Results That Speak Volumes 📊

The Ocumarketing email campaign delivered unprecendented results:

  • 2,153 emails sent
  • 2,088 delivered (incredibly high delivery rate)
  • 1,141opens 📬 (53.7% open rate - well above industry average)
  • 932 clicks🔥 (nearly half of all recipients - unheard of!)

This wasn’t just email success. It translated into real traffic and bookings:

  • The blog received 162 clicks from the campaign - the highest-read blog in EDK’s history.🏆
  • Google Analytics showed a traffic spike of 2,914% 📈 on the day of the campaign (July 23, 2025), with 211 active users compared to the usual 7.
  • 📅The Online Booking page and Info Centre modules saw significant interaction immediately following the campaign.

Why it worked ✅

Educational Focus: The campaign prioritised patient awareness over promotion.
Smart Tools: Visual simulators and videos brought the issue to life.
Multi-channel Integration: Email, blog, website panel, socials and Info Centre links created a seamless experience.

Beyond the immediate results, this campaign highlights how highly engaging Ocumarketing content can act as a catalyst - sparking a cascade of website visits, blog reads, video views, and ultimately real bookings. These meaningful interactions signal to Google that your site offers authentic, trusted content.

The result? Long-lasting SEO gains, higher online credibility, and a practice that stays top of mind - and top of search - long after the campaign has ended.
