It is becoming increasingly difficult to provide quality eyecare if you do not educate on the importance of sight. There is something I say to all of the patients that I work with. “Typically, you can buy teeth or hearing, but you can’t run out to the drug store and purchase eyes.” — Beth P., Slidell, LA
Love the newsletters! — Mollie T., Indianapolis, IN
I am discouraged by the number of private practices selling out to private equity. The trend I see is a devaluation of opticianry and an unwillingness by these firms to pay experienced opticians what they are worth. This also creates opticals which are highly homogenized. Moreover, patients suffer because of the lack of expertise, and little to no exposure to independent brands of eyewear. — Whitney H., Missoula, MT
I find your articles very helpful in the day-to-day operations of running my business! Thank you! — Mark P., Orlando, FL
It is important to remember why you are here. I find that events such as Vision Expo reignite the passion and excitement of this diverse career and industry. Get out of your routine and learn something new that excites you! — Caterina G., Wellington, FL
