Hospital gift shops should keep reader-power availability stable and use visitor traffic periods to adjust refill depth rather than rebuild the assortment.
Visitor volume
Higher traffic can increase replacement reader demand and justify more backstock behind common powers.
Elective procedures

Over-the-counter readers are not a substitute for professional eye care or diagnosis.
