New Year, New Perspectives!
Vice President Cynthia Lohman shares insight into her why and what sparked her passion for our industry.
Q: What is your why?
My daughter, Ashley
Was the eye health industry your second career?
Yes
Q: Would you mind sharing what allured you to take a different career path?
In 1988 I was a police dispatcher for 3 Police Departments and a Licensed EMT. My husband was a police officer. Our daughter was born in October 1988. At age 1 ½ years old her eyes began to cross.
I took her to an Ophthalmology practice and after her eye exam, the doctor informed us that our daughter has never seen our face, a leaf, her face. He referred us to a pediatric specialist. There we were given a prescription for glasses. Neither my husband nor I wore glasses.
