LEARNING CENTER
A large part of Chadwick Optical’s mission is to educate and empower patients while they navigate a broken healthcare system as well as to inspire and advise practitioners to exceed the standard of care. One of the ways we do this is by providing learning resources.
We know a lot about all things optical. Patients are often just given a diagnosis and shuffled out the door without much more. They’re often in shock or left with the feeling that there’s nothing to be done. We’re telling you there is usually something to be done. You’ll find that information on this site.
You or your patient may be losing some or all functional vision, but there are so many options out there to help you make the most of what you have left. We're here to make sure you know about them.
