The Financialoscopy Matrix

By Mark Bertrang, The Creator of the Financialoscopy® on Thursday, December 11th 2025

 

Should I take the red pill or the blue pill…I just got back from my annual eye exam, pupils still dilated and sunglasses firmly in place. So, I look like I’m ready to enter the Matrix.

Why do we even need to have our eyes dilated, our eyes opened?

Seeing Clearly—Financially and Literally

The optometrist’s drops let the doctor peer deep into my eyes, checking for early signs of problems like macular degeneration—a condition both my parents have in their 90s—or cataracts, which can develop suddenly or take decades. My younger sister has already had cataract surgery. My own eyes are healthy, for now, but the visit was a reminder of how quickly things can change and how important it is to act early. I want to be able to take full advantage of modern medicine as soon as a problem develops.

At Financialoscopy®, we put metaphorical drops in your financial eyes, widening your view so we can catch problems before they blur your future.

The other gift I received from my visit was an updated prescription, which is important because I want my eye sight to be as good as it possibly can be. I even have different glasses that I use for the computer that reduces eye strain. Just as I use different glasses for computer work to reduce strain, we aim to relieve the stress and strain that come from financial uncertainty so that you can focus on enjoying life.

Perfection isn’t the goal—life rarely offers that. Instead, we focus on helping you reach a place that I like to call “The wonderful world of being okay,” where your life is as fulfilling as it can be with your available resources.  

Think of us as the Ophthalmologists for your financial life. We’re ready to dilate your financial eyes!
