Episode Synopsis
Although the pandemic's intensity has waned, do the effects on optometry practices, staff, and business strategy remain? In this episode, join Bethany as she reflects on the lingering impacts of COVID-19 on the optometric industry. Bethany delves into how the adaptations required to operate during COVID continue to affect practices to this day, often in ways that aren't always obvious.
