On this episode of The Chris Wolfe podcast we have Dr. Ryan Powell. We talked about his idea behind distribution centers within each individual practice so that you can fulfill things that your patients need in your practice, but also have the opportunity to not let those things kind of bogged down on your shelf.

Neurolens is bringing binocular vision to the masses! Powered by over ten billion data points on patient visual behavior and over ten years of proven patient outcomes, Neurolens is proud to introduce N3—an immersive, engaging patient experience that educates while measuring. N3 is a fast and accurate way for any eyecare provider to measure eye misalignment down to a fraction of a prism diopter, regardless of binocular vision experience.
I caught up with Pierre Bertrand (CEO), Davis Corley (Co-Founder & Executive Chairman) and Brant Southwell (VP of Marketing) from Neurolens to talk about the years-long process that led to the development of N3, and their passion for the continued success of independent optometry.

On this episode of The Chris Wolfe podcast, I am excited to welcome Co-Founder of Dr. Contact Lens, Dr. Brianna Rhue. We had a really great conversation about the nuances of the processes we have within our practices, how to manage these processes to make the every day easier, and how some of the processes can bog us down if we don't manage them well.

On this episode of the Aaron Werner Podcast we talk to Dr. Joe DeLoach. We are definitely not in Kansas anymore! The Department of Justice has concluded four separate investigations into comanagement arrangements between ophthalmologists and optometrists. ALL have resulted in multi-million dollar settlements – most ALL for what is considered routine practice across the country. And, the Office of the Inspector General has ruled on inducement related to ophthalmology-provided education. Get the facts from an inside authority – what is legal, what is not.

Today on The Vision of Leadership Podcast, I am excited to welcome back a returning guest to the podcast, Dr. Haley Perry. I had Haley on the show today to discuss how optometrists are using AI in their practices. We had a great time talking about how she uses AI, how it can be a tool to optometrists, how we can better understand AI, and more! Above all of this, Dr. Haley Perry loves people. If you look up “extrovert” in the dictionary, there is her picture. This translates to the way she sets up her day, her practice, and the way she cares for her guests. If you’d like to see an incredible way to have your guests know more about you, plagiarize her bio from her website.
