On the third episode of Your Vision in Focus, we explore the dynamic world of optometry during one of its busiest times: August. This month is designated as National Eye Exam Month and Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month, and it’s back-to-school season as well.

Discover the opportunities and challenges of this busy season with Torrey Carlson, OD, a LensCrafters affiliated optometrist with 20+ years of experience and multiple sublease locations, and Michael Morgan, OD, an associate doctor at one of Dr. Carlson's practices who joined his team within the last five years.

If you’re a student or a recent graduate curious about what practicing looks like during peak times, tune to hear honest perspectives and invaluable guidance from doctors who have experienced it firsthand.

On this episode, Dr. Vicki Dzurinko sits down with EssilorLuxottica affiliated ODs, Dr. Faten Edris and Dr. Angelica Cifuentes, to talk about the importance of mentorship.

Tune in to learn how multi-sublease owner, Dr. Edris, has been able to mentor many of her associate doctors and watch them grow and acquire their own sublease practices. You'll also hear from Dr. Cifuentes and her own optometry journey, including details on how Dr. Edris' mentorship has inspired Dr. Cifuentes and an entire new generation of future optometrists.

On today’s episode of Your Vision in Focus, join Dr. Vicki Dzurinko as she delves into student debt. With the average North American optometry student’s debt in the triple digits, debt relief is a critical concern to those seeking their optometry degree.

Dr. Dzurinko sits down with Lee Ball, OD, senior director of external OD engagement, EssilorLuxottica Eye Care. They discuss the current landscape of student debt and explore the EssilorLuxottica Eye Care Financial Freedom Employer Sponsored Loan Program, open to current second- and third-year optometry students. Together, they share first-hand insight regarding the application process, highlight previous participant feedback, and help outline your next steps.
