Optometry Serviceswith Audio or Video Language Translation
If you’ve been avoiding the eye doctor because English isn’t your first language, you don’t need to put off an appointment any longer. Everyone deserves access to proper eye care and eye exams regardless of their preferred language. We’re here to explain all the details about Visionworks translation and optometry services so you can confidently attend an appointment knowing our providers will understand you.
Translation Services at Visionworks
We pride ourselves on catering to those who do not speak English or who feel more comfortable communicating in a different language. Our translation services are based on three important pillars that make the program successful.
Video Translation Services
In many languages, such as American Sign Language, speakers need to see others in order to communicate. Facial expressions, lip movements, hand gestures, and body language can play a crucial role in communication. Currently 41 languages are available with our video translation service.
Live video streams with translators help those at a Visionworks center communicate with foreign speakers. This allows for our customers to have a more natural communication experience, ensuring they get the services they need and understand all of the information from the Visionworks experts.
Audio Translation Services
Our audio translation services allow anyone to immediately connect with a translator. Translators can effortlessly help clients explain themselves and understand the Visionworks team.
With audio translations, clients don't have to be afraid to ask questions. They’ll have a fluent speaker on their side to make sure they get all the necessary details.
Available Languages
Visionworks can provide optometry service translation in more than 240+ languages with audio translation and 41 languages with video translation services, including ASL (American Sign Language).
Some of the most commonly requested languages at our Visionworks locations include:
Having so many languages available ensures every customer can communicate in the language they feel most comfortable with during their appointment.
How to Get Translation Services at Your Next Appointment
The process to receive translation services is easy.
Step 1: When you arrive at a Visionworks appointment, simply mention you will need translation services and for what language.
Step 2: One of our Visionworks experts will use a tablet to connect to a translator. (This usually takes under a minute).
Step 3: You’ll go through your normal eye care appointment and the translator will help you throughout the duration of your visit.
The process is simple and convenient, so you don’t have to worry about understanding or being understood.
