🎙️ Episode 4 of Blink Collective is here — and this one dives deep into what it *really* means to care for patients beyond the eye chart 👁✨

This week, Lisa & McKenzie sit down with Dr. Madison Moss from Raleigh Contact Lens Institute — a residency-trained cornea & contact lens specialist passionate about specialty lenses, myopia management, and patient-centered care.

💬 In this episode:

– Why Dr. Moss chose optometry after a life-changing mission trip to Africa

– The hot take: “20/20 vision is overrated” 👀

– Why “20 happy” matters more than perfect acuity

– The problem with online “express exams” & expired contact lens prescriptions

– Real talk about patient education, compliance, and protecting ocular health

– A fascinating scleral lens case that changed a patient’s quality of life

– Advice for students and young ODs interested in specialty care

One of our favorite reminders from this episode:

📌 Real patients don’t read the textbook.

And that’s exactly what makes this profession so meaningful.
