The optometry market suffers from a staffing shortage but benefits from an aging population — a balance of headwinds and tailwinds that Dr. Ben Chudner discusses with McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell.

The chief medical officer at AEG Vision, a private equity consolidator of optometric practices, Ben explains that while the number of optometry schools has increased, the number of applicants has not. He remains optimistic about the market’s growth potential due to an aging population and the increase of eye-related diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
