Matthew Herzberg

Host & Producer

I grew up in my parents’ pioneering ortho-k practice, doing everything from answering phones and capturing topographies to working with families and supporting our mission of exceptional myopia care.

For 18 years, I served as Executive Director of the AAOMC—running booths, connecting with ECPs worldwide, and creating Vision Design, dubbed “The Super Bowl of Myopia Management.”

I’ve also worked with Johnson & Johnson’s myopia division, gaining valuable experience in ortho-k sales, consulting, and ECP support.

Now, I’m fully focused on sharing the stories, lessons, and passion behind The Myopia Mindset.
