In this conversation, Dr. Jeff Michaels discusses the importance of scope of practice and the role of the State Government Relations Committee (SGRC) in advancing optometry. He emphasizes the need for optometrists to build relationships with legislators and educate them about the profession. Dr. Michaels also addresses the issue of subsectioning within the optometry profession and the importance of unity. He highlights the growing awareness among new graduates about scope of practice and the need for continued advocacy. The conversation concludes with a reminder that relationships and education are key to achieving legislative success. Takeaways: Building relationships with legislators is crucial for advancing scope of practice. The optometry profession needs unity and collaboration to overcome subsectioning. New graduates are increasingly aware of the importance of scope of practice. Misleading arguments from ophthalmology must be countered with accurate information. Education and relationship-building should start years in advance of legislative efforts.

Once you get someone on the line, say there appears to be a mix-up and ask for person you really want to talk to — there's a good chance they can dial you straight through." ----more---- If you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to subscribe to this podcast for bi-weekly episodes or leave a review.

Neurolens is bringing binocular vision to the masses! Powered by over ten billion data points on patient visual behavior and over ten years of proven patient outcomes, Neurolens is proud to introduce N3—an immersive, engaging patient experience that educates while measuring. N3 is a fast and accurate way for any eyecare provider to measure eye misalignment down to a fraction of a prism diopter, regardless of binocular vision experience. I caught up with Pierre Bertrand (CEO), Davis Corley (Co-Founder & Executive Chairman) and Brant Southwell (VP of Marketing) from Neurolens to talk about the years-long process that led to the development of N3, and their passion for the continued success of independent optometry.
