The Evolution of Independent Optometry and Technology with Tim Thurn

Independent optometry hasn't just evolved, it has transformed. From glass lenses dominating the market to digitally personalised optics, from fragmented professional politics to collaborative care models, the journey has been nothing short of remarkable. In this episode, Michael Nasser is joined by Tim Thurn, former Medical & Professional Relations Director at EssilorLuxottica and a trained optometrist, to unpack decades of perspective on the profession. This is a conversation about progress, not just technological progress, but professional growth, mindset shifts, and the responsibility independents carry in shaping the future of eye care. — All the other links and resources mentioned in this episode can be found at https://www.thefocusedview.com.au — Key Topics with Timestamps: 2:24 - Tim's journey into optometry and industry leadership 5:05 - From fragmented practice to coordinated care 6:50 - Tim's transition into industry & market analysis 11:39 - Early challenges and opportunities of independent practice 14:11 - Revenue model shifts 16:11 - Technological milestones in dispensing and manufacturing 19:55 - How technology changes patient experience to personalisation and precision 23:33 - Staff training to the power of technology 24:53 - Importance of independence embracing technology 27:20 - Independence as drivers of change 33:39 - Who independents are really competing with 37:13 - Role of independent market to R&D across the industry 42:07 - Underdeveloped areas of the eye care industry 45:11 - What's next for the eye care industry 46:38 - Advice to the independent in adopting new technology 52:17 - Don't be afraid to adopt and ask Learn More About Us: Website: https://www.thefocusedview.com.au/ Email: info@thefocusedview.com.au LinkedIn:   / the-focused-view   Instagram:   / thefocusedview   Facebook:   / thefocusedview   — Thank you for joining us in this episode of The Focused View Podcast.
