We held a really good Mastermind session at my office yesterday. It dealt with skills of communication as outlined by Jim Rohn. We had ten individuals of varying backgrounds attend. I really look forward to our meetings as there's such a good feeling among all the participants. Our sharing and learning experience has been wonderful. If you're interested in attending, please call me at (951) 206-1747. The week to week attendance varies so if you call first, we would appreciate it.
We look forward to seeing you.

Special Needs Patients
I recently had a couple of young patients who had Down's Syndrome. Many of these patients have problems with the teaming of their eyes together. I referred them to the optometry school in the area which has a tremendous pediatric program.
I recently saw the parents of these patients. They couldn't be more pleased. They raved about the attention their children received. They also presciribed vision trainaing which helped their children a lot.
The parents were so impressed with the care received, they are having the faculty of the school address their support group for Down's Syndrome.

Great Individuals To Work With
It's really great when you can come into your office and everyone really gets along well.. I find that with the individuals in my office. Believe me, I have worked in offices where this wasn't the case. You probably have, too.
It's really wonderful that I am able to deligate many of the office tasks to my employees where I am then able to concentrate my efforts on patient care. The other area of the practice I enjoy is the networking part of my practice. From the gym to chambers of commerce to online, I really enjoy meeting with people and discussing (with enthusiasm ) my practice.
Patients are really able to pick up where there are "good vibrations" within a work environment. I encourage you to read the testimonial section of my website, www.wehelpuc.com. The last testimonial describes this to a tee and made me feel really good.
A second year optometry school student remarked to me: "Bob, you never say you're going to work, you say you're going to the office."

Helping People
Zig Ziglar said, "help enough people get what they want and you'll get what you want." That is so true. I have noticed this with family members as well as the staff within my office.
A couple of years ago I had a student and friend work in my office who was interested in making optometry her career. We helped her during the application process. It was rewarding for both her and me when we heard she was accepted to optometry school.
Recently, I told her I was going through the process of becoming certified to prescribe for glaucoma. Immediately, she offered to sit for me so I could practice a technique I needed to know. She was very knowledgeable in this area. There's a little bit of discomfort with this technique as you have to put a viewing lens on the eye itself.
This helping of others is so important to one's own well being. I'm really proud of how the course of events has taken place so far with this future optometrist.

Mastermind Group
Over the last several months, we have been holding a Mastmind Group studying the tenets of Jim Rohn's a year in success. We have been really exceited about the discussions that have been generated among the participants. The topics have included, marketing, networking, spirituality, health and diet. If you're interested in attending, please text me at (951) 206-1747.
The next two meetings will be at my office at 7:00 P.M., Thursday, January 31 and February 7. The office address is 7211-A Haven Ave. Rancho Cucamonga. We're in the Ralphs's shopping Center at Baseline and Haven. The sign over the office says "optometry." We hope to see you.

A great quote from Jim Rohn is: "Work Harder on yourself than you do on your job."
The Importance of Frame Adjustment
When a patient receives their glasses, sometimes they have trouble seeing. Assuming the prescription in correct, the next thing we look at is the way the frame is fitting on the patient. If the frame is sitting far away from the patient's eyes, this could cause a problem of distortion, especially on high prescriptions, particularly bifocals.
Speaking of bifocals, a poor adjustment of the frame could put the bifocal in the wrong position leading to patient discomfort. Another area of adjusstment that's impoartant is how the frames are tilted on the patient. We generally try to match the tilt of the frame to the tilt of the patient's old frames. If it's the first time the patient is receiving glasses, we have a good idea on how we want the glasses to fit and adjust the frames accordingly.
Lastly and just as important, if the frame is not adjusted for the patient correctly, this could discomfot of the ears or nose.
