When it comes to cornea and contact lenses, few doctors have made as big an impact on the field in as short time as Dr. Clark Chang. A 2007 graduate from PCO, Dr. Chang is currently the Director of Cornea Specialty Lenses at Wills Eye Hospital, and the Director of Clinical Services at Vision Group Holdings (which includes TLC and The Laser Vision Institute). His passion for fitting specialty contact lenses for those with corneal conditions like keratoconus is contagious, and he has plenty of advice in this week’s podcast to help get you started in this specialty!

The best way to bring specialty contact lenses into your practice is to get help and seek mentorship. No doctor needs to go it alone. There can be a steep learning curve on these lenses, and joining organizations that offer training and support can help you get off to the best start.
