Dr. Chris Wolfe is not only an optometrist but an eyecare evangelist. Wolfe hosts an eye care podcast channel on his EyeCode Media network. He spoke with Dr. Jennifer Palombi about aligning his optometry practice with an independent doctor alliance – in his case, Vision Source, a family of 3,100 locally owned optometric practices.

Wolfe’s father, also an optometrist, joined Vision Source in 2001. When Wolfe took over the family practice, he saw remaining in the alliance as a natural fit for the collective benefits it provides independent practices.
