FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. – Jim Murphy, vice president/general manager, U.S. vision care, Alcon will be the featured guest on the June 12 edition of the “Power Hour.” The weekly online radio talk show is hosted by Gary Gerber, OD, founder of The Power Practice, a practice management company.


Said Gerber, “Tune in to hear what Jim thinks in regard to the following questions and more. What are contact lens companies doing to stimulate the long term anemic growth in the contact lens market? Why do we still deal with dropouts, and what’s being done to decrease them? Why aren't contact lenses perfect? This should be a thought-provoking discussion.”
