OD starts sports vision business

In the 10 years since Jennifer Stewart, OD, graduated from optometry school, she’s felt like there was more she could be doing for some patients, notably athletes. Dr. Stewart trained with sports vision guru Don Teig, OD, and wanted to provide athletes with a sports-focused, performance vision training center that was convenient around training, practices, games and tournaments.“Two years ago, I sat down with my husband and I said, ‘There’s never going to be a good time to start a sports vision business. So let’s do this.’” Her husband, Gus Ellison, is COO and handles the marketing and strategic planning for Performance 20/20.
