🎙️ On this episode, Dr. Jade Coats shares how her early experiences as a pharmacy tech and apprentice optician shaped her unique path into optometry. We explore how corporate optometry taught her adaptability, and how working both behind the counter and in the exam lane gives her a powerful perspective on patient care. She also reflects on defining moments, memorable patients, and why hands-on experience matters for future ODs. If you're in eye care—or thinking about it—this one’s full of insight you won’t want to miss! 👁️✨ #OptometryPodcast #WomenInEyecare #EyecareJourney
