Most of us weren't formally taught the role of technology in clinical care or practice management. Some returned to school to expand their technical expertise, while others are self-taught innovators. We all share one belief:Technology is fundamentally transforming eye care, and our profession should be leading - not following—that transformation.Eye.Talk.Tech. exists to bring practical, relevant technology education to the eye care community - in our own language, on our own terms.DisclaimerThis episode is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or legal advice.
