Description

Whether you specialize in dry eyes, myopia management, or specialty contact lenses, the journey can be quite similar. From the magical moments when you help a struggling patient to those seemingly-endless visits when the treatment doesn't seem to be working... every clinician who leans into some type of specialty care has experienced the highs and lows.


In part one of this two part series, Dr. Petar Prpic shares his journey into specialty contact lenses and how he and his brother (Dr. Ivan Prpic) have built their relatively new clinic into a successful practice.


In this episode, Dr. Prpic discusses the different types of specialty lenses he fits, how metrics have been important to his success, and why collaboration between colleagues is important for our patients and our profession.


Stay tuned for part two of this series, where Dr. Prpic discusses some of the more advanced specialty lenses technologies that are available, including correcting higher order aberrations, to help serve our patients better.
