In today's rapidly evolving landscape of eye care, generational differences have come into sharper focus. The practice of optometry, like any other healthcare profession, is shaped by the unique perspectives, challenges, and goals of different generations. This generational gap is often seen when seasoned optometrists and new graduates come together in practice. The goal is to bridge these differences and create a harmonious, future-forward approach to patient care, practice management, and leadership.

The healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, and within it, the field of eye care must continuously strive for clinical excellence, unmatched patient care, and innovation. These objectives are essential for advancing the profession and making a broader impact on the healthcare system. The New England College of Optometry (NECO) is at the forefront of these efforts, spearheading initiatives like the Industry Collaborative to bring together academia, industry, and media to address these challenges.
