The Origin of Influence
Leading the conversation. Advancing the future of eye care.
Born from Dr. Alan Glazier’s visionary creation of ODs on Facebook in 2011, Fluorescene Group has evolved from a single online community into one of the most influential platforms in eye care.
A Community That Started It All
What began as a place for optometrists to connect has grown into a powerful network of more than 47,000 eye care professionals, built one meaningful connection at a time.
A Platform With Purpose
Today, Fluorescene Group is an independent media, technology, and intelligence platform that bridges eye care professionals and leading industry brands.
Creating Impact Together
Through trusted community engagement, clinical education, practice management insights, podcasts, articles, webinars, CE/COPE opportunities, and data-driven solutions, we create space for professional discourse that is scientific, respectful, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
Our mission is to lead the online conversation in eye care with rigor, confidence, and compassion while advancing innovation, collaboration, and clinical excellence across the profession.
By amplifying every voice and connecting the right people, ideas, and brands, Fluorescene Group continues to shape the future of eye care – one insight, one conversation, and one connection at a time.
Who We Are
We're a Collective of passionate, curious, and forward-thinking professionals
A Diverse Collective of Industry Professionals
We’re a collective of optometrists, educators, researchers, scientists, public health leaders, tech leaders, and eyecare practitioners working behind the scenes.
Learning Technology Beyond Traditional Training
Most of us weren’t taught the role of technology in our clinical or management training; some went back to school in their 30s to upskill, while others are self-taught hustlers.
Preparing Eye Care for the Next Decade
However, we all share one common belief and responsibility: Technology is fundamentally transforming how we practice eye care over the next 10 years, and our profession must catch up to lead this wave.
This is our effort to bring tech education to our community - in our own language, on our own terms.
