PRACTICE SUPPORT
The Eye Lady: Running an optometry practice comes with constant demands – patients, staff, recalls, accounts, and marketing. When things get busy, it’s often the important (but not urgent) tasks that fall behind. If your practice could benefit from experienced support – but not enough to justify another staff member – I offer flexible remote assistance tailored specifically to optometry. See more here:
