    Ortho-K has been around for decades. It can changes patient's lives. It's great for business. Yet, very few ECPs offer this magical solution. Why?

In this episode, we discuss Jason's journey to building a booming Ortho-K practice. 1 new Ortho-K fit per week equals an additional $100,000 per year in revenue. Jason managed to get to 16 new fits per week. Whether you are someone who is sitting on the sidelines interested in starting Ortho-K, just dabbling, or deep into it... there will be something in this interview that will help you succeed!

    Revolutionary Treatment For Macular Degeneration - MacuMira

    For many years, we have been limited in the solutions we could offer our patients suffering from Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

But thankfully, we now have a new, non-invasive, highly effective treatment for our macular degeneration patients. In this episode, Justin Sather (CEO), Ravi Tanna (VP of Sales), and Dr. Trevor Miranda share how MacuMira works and how it will revolutionize macular degeneration care. Learn more at MacuMira.com.
