Last night IÂ gave a talk to optometrists about how social media can be used market their practices. It was a small group that was extremely interactive and I had a good time. You can see the Prezi, if you are interested.
Within the presentation, I provided a short list of eye care and vision blogs that I read and explained how essential an RSS reader is. I personally use Google Reader. (If you do not understand RSS, watch this.)
So below is the full list of vision related blogs I follow. Sorry I didn't clean it up a bit more, but I did kick out any defunct blogs I found while editing the list. It is a bit long, but you can skim it and hopefully find a few things that are interesting or useful to you. And just because I have it listed, doesn't mean I endorse it, just that I read it. I did bold a few that I think are particularly interesting.
Don't see your blog or your favorite eye care blog? Be sure to let me know!

This is very true. It seems like many in the profession are not making use of the web effectively.
Thank you for listing my blog. I am behind schedule with articles related to my development of autostereoscopic photographs and the potential for them to be used for evaluating stereopsis in non-communicative children. But I hope to get to it soon!
Glad to include you! Your work is unique and interesting.
Hi Dr. Nate I believe social media has big potential to be a platform for profesional to expose their expertise and services. Only deep understanding how it works must be aquired first.
