Suddenly, you’re on the hook to make a whole lot of judgment calls on the patient’s behalf. Should they begin therapy? If so, with what? How soon and how often should they be seen for follow-up?

Another day, another Ozempic article. Ever since last summer, when JAMA Ophthalmology published worrisome findings showing an increased risk of NAION in patients using semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, additional studies have been coming fast and furious—and they often contradict each other.

Looking back through the array of topics we explored in last month’s special issue on trends and transformations in optometry, I see many threads of conversation worth continuing this year and beyond. Some are a given. Scope of practice expansion is rewriting optometry’s mandate, bringing in new responsibilities for ODs to address and absorb. We’d be remiss if we didn’t track it further.

Pathways to Specialization: Find-and Follow-Your Calling

Jan 15, 2025 | reviewofoptometry.com | Mark De Leon

As the profession continues to grow and patient needs evolve, the role of the optometrist as the primary eyecare provider adopts new contexts and responsibilities.
