Rebecca Cowan+FollowWhy Kids Are Gold for Eye DocsEver wonder why optometrists love seeing kids? Turns out, pediatric patients stick around for years, turning into loyal adult clients. Plus, kids need special services like myopia management and vision therapy, which are pricier and often paid out-of-pocket. And since active kids go through lots of daily contacts (hello, higher profit margins!), it’s a win-win. Even anti-fatigue lenses are trending for younger eyes. Basically, focusing on kids = major growth for eye clinics! #Optometry #Pediatrics #EyeHealth #PracticeGrowth #HealthcareBusiness #Health40Share
shermandarlene+FollowYour Eyes Might Spill Dementia SecretsWild science update: your eye health could predict your dementia risk!

Basically, your eye scans might one day help spot dementia before any symptoms show up. While you can’t get this test at your eye doc just yet, it’s a big step toward easier, earlier screening.

Michelle Welch+FollowGlaucoma Risk After Eye Surgery? Who Knew!Just found out that if you’ve had a PPV (pars plana vitrectomy) eye surgery, there’s a 5% chance you could develop glaucoma within five years—even if you had no signs before! The risk is higher if you had retinal detachment. Docs say patients should keep up with eye checks long after surgery. The why is still a mystery, but better screening could help catch it early.
