“I just wanted to thank you for your motivational podcasts. I’m a young doctor who just started getting into myopia management late last year and I’ve watched and listened to everything out there about myopia, but your podcasts hit on a different level with the motivation and the reassurance they provide to keep pushing despite the struggles...Thank you!”

  • Dr. Emil Martirosyan OD

“Having worked directly in optometry and specialized in myopia management, Matt brings a rare and insightful understanding to both the eyecare professional and the patient's experience. His podcast is recognized as the essential resource for anyone in practice with an interest in myopia management." 

  • Dr. Nicholas Despotidis OD, IACMM, FIAOMC

“I supported this because myopia control is probably my favorite and the most rewarding thing that I do in practice. The more I learn the more effective I can be and at this price it’s a no brainer. Thank You!”
