A consulting trip to a small town revealed a familiar story: a doctor who believed in vision therapy but felt stalled by uncertainty. This post explores the gap between interest and implementation, and how clarity, not just passion, builds sustainable VT practices.

Remember when we first came out of optometry school? We had the knowledge, the textbooks, the clinical hours... but not the confidence. There's a big difference between knowing something and being able to apply it with clarity and assurance. Last week, Robert Nurisio wrote about imposter syndrome in vision therapy. This is what practice owners need to understand about their teams.

It's not every day that we retire a product, and honestly, this one is a little bittersweet. For years, our lens flippers have been a staple in vision therapy practices around the world. But as much as we've enjoyed them, the time has come to say goodbye. We're officially discontinuing production of our flippers.
