Visit us at www.odsontechnology.com*Who are we*:We’re a collective of optometrists, educators, researchers, scientists, public health leaders, tech leaders, and eyecare practitioners working behind the scenes. Most of us weren’t taught the role of technology in our clinical or management training; some went back to school in their 30s to upskill, while others are self-taught hustlers. However, we all share one common belief and responsibility: Technology is fundamentally transforming how we practice eye care over the next 10 years, and our profession must catch up to lead this wave. This is our effort to bring tech education to our community - in our own language, on our own terms.___________________________DisclaimerThis episode is for informational purposes only and not medical advice.
