As optometry students, we are trained to see the world through a different lens but what if we’re missing the bigger picture? The complexities of the human eye are so difficult to comprehend but another challenge I face almost every day as an Optometry Student is #Collaboration with other healthcare professionals. This hardship is not just experienced by my colleagues and me but also in society. Optometrists work with Ophthalmologists and Primary Care Physicians but there are opportunities for us to work with more specialists if we can overcome communication barriers between us. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals would build a sense of community and encourage creative solutions through diverse perspectives. Imagine this scenario: A 40-year-old woman visits an optometrist, complaining of blurry vision, headaches and eye strain. After a set of tests, the optometrist suspects a neurological factor and refers her to a Neurologist for further examination. Outcome: The woman receives comprehensive care addressing both her eye health and potential neurological factors, leading to reduced symptoms. Collaboration provides teamwork, ensuring patients get comprehensive care. As much as this would create more opportunities for Optometrist, it would also be putting the patient’s needs at the far front. At my University where Optometry students are separated from medical courses, it fosters enmity and ignorance. These issues need attention from other healthcare professionals as well. Health is a fundamental human need, and to satisfy it we must communicate more, share ideas, and build a community where everyone can learn and grow together. Share your thoughts and experiences with collaboration in healthcare in the comments below.?? #HealthcareCollaboration #Breakingdownbarriers #Optometry #GentleEzenwa30DayChallenge #ObimDevelopmentInitiativeHub

Get ready for an inspiring podcast interview with Dr. Connor Robbs! His vision and mission are dedicated to uplifting and empowering those around him, and you won’t want to miss his insights and passion. Tune in for a conversation that promises to motivate and enlighten! #favoriteoptometrist #optometry #defocusmedia
Dr. Robbs firmly believes that optometry suffers from a branding problem. “We need more optometrists,” he says, “but we also need to communicate how rewarding this profession is to students early on.” While the field has made strides in advocating for legislative advancements and expanding the scope of practice, these efforts mean little if there aren’t enough optometrists to meet patient demand. The “Future Optometric Doctors Program” aims to solve this issue by targeting high school students rather than focusing recruitment solely on college undergraduates. Dr. Robbs hopes to foster a sustained interest in the field and build a more robust pipeline of future optometrists by introducing students to the medical, technical, and interpersonal aspects of optometry in their formative years. #defocusmedia #optometry #optometrystudent

Aligning Philosophies: A Critical Step in Your Optometry Career! ?? When considering joining a new optometry practice, it’s essential to ensure that your professional philosophy matches that of the practice. Imagine you've always aimed to practice at the highest scope, utilizing the latest technologies for the best patient care. However, if the practice you're joining doesn't believe in specialty care or investing in advanced technologies, this philosophical clash could lead to challenges down the road. On the flip side, if the optometrist acknowledges the need for advancement and sees you as a gateway to bringing in specialty care, this could be a mutually beneficial relationship. Similarly, if you prefer primary optometric care without a focus on full scope, joining a practice with a different philosophy might not be the best fit. Understanding these alignments early on can save you from future surprises and help you thrive in your career. Have you found a practice that aligns with your professional philosophy? Share your experiences and thoughts below! #OptometryLife #ProfessionalPhilosophy? #CareerAlignment #EyeCareExcellence? #OptometryStudents #OptometryProfessionals? #VisionCare
