Community

It's really neat to live and work within the same community.  I have now been practicing in Rancho Cucamonga, CA for over 23 years.  I live 1/2 mile from my office.  I see many of my patients in the stores, the gym and other local hangouts.  It's really great.  I also belong to four chambers of commerce:  Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Upland and Ontario.  In addition to business, these organizations have been a great source of friendships.  I feel really fortunate in being in this situation.

Understading Your Visual Condition

One of the factors I most enjoy about optometry is being able to demonstrate to a patient what their problem is and in most cases, what it's going to take to remedy it.  It's easy to show a patient what you're prescribing in the form of glasses and contact lenses before they receive them.  It's really good to show a patient how they've changed from their old prescritpion.

As far as disease or injury to the eye, it's easy to go online and show a patient what their condition looks like.  Patients could get an appreciation of what's going  on with their own condition.

Also, when we do talks to audiences, it's very interesting to demonstrate to an audience member what effects certain visual conditions have on performance, especially at school, work or play.
