OPTOMETRY 125 & VisionAIRI™ FOUNDERS’ EDITION: A Field Experiment - Vision AI Recognition and Integration See Share Shape Transform

This booklet is not primarily about a book. Nor is it primarily about me, Aiden, the author. It is about a question. A question that emerged after decades of observing optometry from different perspectives: clinician, educator, researcher, industry professional, dispenser, patient advocate, and lifelong student of professional development. >How much professional knowledge remains invisible because it exists only inside individual practitioners and individual consultations? Every day, optometrists, among other professionals make hundreds of observations. Some are clinical. Some are behavioural. Some are technical. >Most of these observations disappear. They help one patient. Perhaps two. Then the consultation ends. The patient leaves. >What remains? That question led to another. What if there were a simple way to connect small observations across many optometrists? What patterns might emerge? What could the profession learn about itself? This Founders' Edition is an invitation to explore that possibility The contribution can be as easy as writing just 2 sentences every day.
