Hospital gift shops should size opening eyewear inventory around reader-power availability and safe, accessible display capacity rather than maximum unit count.
For a Major Frames 132-pair floor display, a common opening is 160 pairs including refill stock. Smaller gift shops can use lower-capacity counter formats.
Opening mix
- broad enough reader powers to support self-service
- more depth behind common powers
- a selective sunglass component where visitor demand supports it
Keep the test operationally simple
Backstock should be easy for staff to find and the fixture should not reduce accessibility or aisle clearance.
Over-the-counter readers are not a substitute for professional eye care or diagnosis.
