Some of the most meaningful connections in our careers happen when we take the time to step away from work and simply be together. šŸ’œ

Our WiE Charlotte Summer Bash was an evening of thoughtful conversations, new connections, and the kind of community that continues long after the evening ends.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Katie Slusarski, MBA and MDelite Vision & Aesthetic for helping create the space for these conversations to happen.

We’re proud to build a community where women can learn from one another, open doors for one another, and leave each other a little more inspired than when they arrived.

Here’s to the connections that move us forward! ✨

A Night to Remember šŸ’œ

What a terrific turnout for the inaugural WiE Philadelphia Chapter event! We were thrilled to welcome 29 incredible women from across the eyecare industry for an evening of connection, conversation, and community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this first event so special. Your energy, support, and enthusiasm made the evening truly memorable.

We’re so excited for what’s ahead and look forward to continuing to bring women in eyecare together, inspire one another, and build meaningful connections.

Thank you for being part of the beginning!

In a recent interview with , WiE member Leslie Scher, OD () explains the key differences between a comprehensive eye exam and a standard vision screening.

A vision screening can be a useful first step, but a comprehensive eye exam evaluates much more, including binocular vision, ocular health, and other factors that may go undetected in a basic screening.

For children, comprehensive eye exams are especially important for identifying vision concerns early and guiding interventions such as myopia management.

We’re proud to see Dr. Leslie sharing her expertise and helping raise awareness about the importance of comprehensive eye care.

It’s easy to compare your journey to everyone else’s, especially at the beginning of your career. As shared, ā€œI remember graduating and being unable to shake the feeling that I was so behind.ā€ šŸ¤

The reality is that growth doesn’t always happen on the same timeline, and success isn’t measured by how quickly you get there.

Every opportunity, challenge, and season of uncertainty is helping shape the professional you’re becoming. The confidence, skills, and resilience you admire in others were built over time, too.

Wherever you are in your journey, keep learning, keep showing up, and trust that your path is unfolding exactly as it should. Your future self will thank you ✨

Did you know there’s an entire specialty dedicated to the delicate structures surrounding your eyes? šŸ‘ļø

Oculofacial plastic surgery combines expertise in ophthalmology with advanced training in reconstructive and aesthetic procedures involving the eyelids, orbit, tear drainage system, and surrounding facial anatomy. It’s a unique field where precision, function, and artistry come together to help patients achieve both healthy outcomes and natural results.

Because the tissues around the eyes are incredibly complex, specialized training makes all the difference. Whether restoring function after disease or injury or addressing concerns that impact a patient’s quality of life, oculofacial surgeons play an essential role in comprehensive eye care.

We love highlighting the many specialties within our profession and celebrating the women whose expertise continues to advance patient care in so many different ways. šŸ¤

Sometimes, the most meaningful mentorship begins with a patient šŸ¤

Ok Love Myopia Control Experts recently welcomed 15-year-old Shrea as the newest intern in her practice. After years as a patient, Shrea developed a genuine curiosity about eye care, especially myopia management, and now has the opportunity to experience the profession from the other side of the exam
room.

Every future eye care professional starts somewhere, and sometimes, all it takes is someone who believes in their potential.

Who knew an eye exam could involve so many different pairs of glasses? šŸ‘“

In this post, Dr. Dana Shannon walks through some of the specialized tools used during an eye exam, from trial frames and flippers to polarized and red-green glasses. While they may look a little unusual, each one plays an important role in evaluating how your eyes work, not just how clearly you see.

It’s a great reminder that a comprehensive eye exam is about much more than finding the right prescription šŸ‘ļøāœØ
