Recently, I did a call to action in a Facebook Group dedicated to women in Optometry (shout out to you, OD Divas)! I asked if anyone had any experiences that they would like to share regarding a toxic or negative work environment. I was shocked by the amount of my fellow colleagues that reached out to me and the experiences about how they were wronged in the industry.
I believe these stories of women in Optometry need to be told. That is why Latte Money is starting a series called: Seeing Our Truth. This series is dedicated to the Optometrists that have been treated like assistants instead of doctors and have chosen to do something about it! I cannot imagine beginning this discussion without speaking to Dr. Maria Sampalis. If you are an optometrist, you have definitely heard her name!! Dr. Sampalis shares when she didn't get the answers she was seeking, she created her own! And the optometry world has been better because of it!
