  • From Eyepiece to Evidence: Telscreen's Tech Transforming Eye Exams.

    From Eyepiece to Evidence: Telscreen's Tech Transforming Eye Exams.
    Jul 24 2025
    This week on Small Business Success Talk, I sat down with Kent and Wes Harris of TelScreen—a Louisville-based company helping eye doctors communicate more effectively with their patients. Their story includes humble beginnings, a powerful medical save involving a brain tumor, and some surprising laughs. They’re proof that innovation doesn’t always come from Silicon Valley—it often starts with a question from a single doctor and a willingness to figure it out. 🎧 Listen in to hear about: Why today’s eye doctors need better communication tools How TelScreen’s tech fits with the practice, not just in it Their hilarious “tick in the eye” story (yes, really) And how their systems support evidence-based care—without hype. 🎙️ Episode Link: https://smallbusinesssuccesstalk.biz/s3e10-from-eyepiece-to-evidence-telscreens-tech-transforming-eye-exams/ #TelScreen #SmallBusinessSuccessTalk #HealthcareInnovation #OptometryTech #StartupStories Learn more about your ad choices.
