In this unfiltered episode of The Myopia Mindset, Dr. Cheryl Chapman returns to the podcast for a candid conversation with Matthew Herzberg about the turbulent period that nearly brought the American Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control (AAOMC) to its knees.
Following the global disruption of COVID-19, the future of the AAOMC—and its signature event, Vision By Design—hung in the balance. In 2022, Matthew stepped away from his role as Executive Director, leaving behind a critical chapter in the academy’s history. Now, as Cheryl concludes her term as AAOMC president, the two sit down to unpack the decisions, disagreements, and defining moments that shaped the academy’s survival.
This is a behind-the-scenes look at leadership under pressure, the cost of commitment, and what it takes to rebuild something you believe in.
