(PRESS RELEASE) EUGENE, OR — Valley Contax, Inc. announced the launch of Blink Collective, a new podcast platform designed to spotlight the voices, perspectives, and experiences of optometry students and early-career optometrists.
This launch marks an evolution from the long-standing Try Not to Blink podcast into a new, community-driven format built for the future of the profession.
Blink Collective introduces a rotating host model, inviting students and young ODs to take the mic and lead authentic conversations around clinical experiences, emerging technology, education, and the realities of life in optometry today. The goal: create a space where the next generation doesn’t just listen, they contribute.
Unlike traditional podcast formats, Blink Collective is designed as an accessible platform where participants can submit ideas, share their stories, and engage with peers across the country. Episodes will be available in both video and audio formats across major platforms including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and TikTok, with short-form content distributed via Instagram.
The transition reflects Valley Contax’s continued commitment to education, innovation, and supporting the growth of the optometric community, not only through products and clinical solutions, but by fostering connection and conversation.
As part of the launch, students and young ODs are invited to submit proposals and participate in future episodes through the official website.
