Listen Later

In this podcast we will pick his brain to talk with us about the Business Model of Myopia Management. He will walk us through the business models he heard of. 

Here we can learn the biggest roadblock oh how he incorporates myopia management to a busy primary care practice. 

As we all know Myopia practice takes a little bit of time.

If you want to implement and you don’t want to do this yourself then you need to HIRE a recent graduate that has an interest in children and myopia management.
