Carl Urbanski and Andy Morgenstern, both second-generation optometrists, dive deep into AOA's Evidence-Based Optometry Committee. They unravel the importance of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and their evidence-first 14-step development process. Listeners learn how CPGs enhance patient care and why prevalence data should reshape scheduling approaches. They emphasize that CPGs are grounded solely in evidence, free from industry influence. The conversation also highlights the benefits for students and patients in engaging with these guidelines, enhancing clarity and quality in optometry.
