Cold weather, indoor heating, and increased screen time can all contribute to dry, irritated eyes during the winter months. If your eyes feel gritty, watery, or tired, personalized dry eye care can help improve comfort and clarity. Relief starts with understanding what’s causing your symptoms.

I recently encountered a situation where an urgent eye condition couldn’t be addressed for six days—despite phone calls, referrals, and doing everything “right.”

That delay could have changed a life.

This is what healthcare disparities look like in real time.
Not always dramatic headlines—but quiet gaps in access, availability, and timely care.

💬 Let’s talk about it:
Have you ever faced a healthcare delay that felt unnecessary or dangerous?
What do you think contributes most to these gaps in care?

Your experiences matter—and sharing them helps us all advocate better.

Had an amazing time at UAB School of Optometry sharing dinner, laughs, and real talk with some incredible future ODs. The energy in the room was unmatched—curious minds, bold questions, and a genuine desire to grow beyond the exam room.

Huge thank you to PECAA, NOSA, and Johnson & Johnson Vision for sponsoring and believing in the power of pouring into student doctors early. And special appreciation to Dr. Janine and the UABSO leadership for creating space for honest conversations about contribution, ownership, and what it really means to build a career with intention.

I’m always inspired when I get to remind student doctors that they are not “just associates in training,” but future leaders, culture shapers, and value creators in this profession.

Grateful for the opportunity to share, connect, and hopefully plant a few seeds 🌱
The future of optometry is in good hands—and it’s bright.
