In this episode, we're continuing our focus on the Future of Eye Care with Jim McGrann and David Spear, CEO and President and Chief Strategy Officer, respectively, of Advancing Eye Care to discuss the future of equipment technology. 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Diagnostic equipment plays two critical roles both today and the future - it provides the clinical insight needed to take great medical care of patients and provides an impactful patient experience through improved efficiency and experience.
  2. The advancement of treatment options for ocular conditions will further drive the advancement of diagnostic technology to aid and improve the clinical experience.
  3. Technology and equipment won't ultimately replace the intuition and knowledge of the doctor. The future of eye care will provide the doctor the opportunity to be more efficient and effective, especially through the exam flow. 
  4. Add all the technology as long as you can plan for and implement it effectively and efficiently. It provides added top line value and is an investment in the value and worth of the business. 
  5. The future of technology should enhance the doctor's quality of life and quality of work. 
  6. The future of technology should integrate the medical exam and retail experience into one seamless experience with little to no perceptible change. 
  7. AI is here to stay. You should be thinking about it when it comes to technology in your practice.
