AEG Vision proudly launched its inaugural New Grad Summit last week in New York, an exciting milestone in our commitment to supporting and developing the next generation of optometrists. This dynamic event welcomed our newest class of recently graduated ODs starting with AEG, giving them a strong start with clinical education, professional development, and the chance to form meaningful connections with peers and mentors across the AEG network. We’re incredibly grateful to our valued partners whose support elevated the experience and made it possible: • CooperVision: thank you for your partnership, generosity, and hospitality, with special thanks to Jessi Middaugh, AuD, MBA, Steve Rosinski, OD, David Buccione, and the entire #CooperVision team. • BioTissue Ocular: thank you for the hands-on regenerative medicine wet lab led by Dr. Emily Love and organized by Sergio A. Rodriguez, offering a truly impactful experience. • Optos: your presentation on OCT Wellness brought valuable insights; huge thanks to Rick Gonzales and Mandy Eiynck for making it happen and to Sarah Harmon for the engaging delivery. From interactive sessions and wet labs to evening networking events, the week was filled with learning, inspiration, and connection. Special recognition to our internal team for making this initiative a success: Shawn Deckert, Kellie Spector, Carol Martinez, Mary Jones, Dr. Benjamin Chudner, Dr. Jamy Borbidge, OD, Jessica Davis and our dedicated SECDs, Dr. Tonya Reynoldson OD MBA, Dr. Janaki Patel, OD, ABOC, Dr. Brett Ringger, Dr. Jared Pels OD, MBA, Dr. Dana Nakagawa, and Dr. David Duffy. We’re proud to invest in the future of optometry, and even prouder of this exceptional group joining the AEG Vision family. The journey is just beginning, and the future looks bright! #AEGVision #BrightFuture

👢 Murray Kentucky, Throwing Shade at Your Shoes? 👢 Did you know there’s a shoe tree in Murray, Kentucky? Yep—a real tree on the side of the road, covered in hundreds of pairs of shoes that locals and travelers have tossed up there over the years. No one knows exactly how it started, but like so many small-town traditions, it’s taken on a life of its own. It’s quirky, unexpected, and full of personality—just like Murray itself. And that’s what makes this town so special. Murray is a place where stories stick, where community matters, and where you get the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and opportunity. With a vibrant local culture, Murray State University, excellent schools, and friendly faces at every corner, it’s a place that feels like home the moment you arrive. We’re proud to be part of that community at Jarvis Vision Center, a full-scope, patient-first optometry practice and part of the AEG Vision family. Right now, we’re looking for a full-time Optometrist to join our team in Murray. This is a great opportunity to practice at the top of your license, enjoy a strong support system, and become part of a town that welcomes you like family. If you're looking for a meaningful career move in a one-of-a-kind community (with its very own shoe tree!), let’s talk. Feel free to message Sumer Page Doctor Tonya Reynoldson OD MBA or Guy Laeufer You can also call/text/email our friendly OD recruiter, Jonathan Winnegrad today!!
