I like this Gucci frame shape and color, but I worry because my diopter is -5. Will my temples look really small and distorted? I will take 1.67 index and aspheric design to minimize distortion. I love this frame but I'm worried about the technical aspects. 😔
Hey everyone, I started my training two months ago. I'm in Southeast Europe so the system is different from the US, but I still need some advice from experienced opticians.
I got hired to be trained and employed in a large chain, probably the biggest one in my country. The problem is that I rarely get the chance to see lens edging and adjustments. I'm pushed to the front desk where I do a lot of administration, schedule appointments and sell hearing aid batteries (we have a department for hearing aids as well).
I have to deal with phone calls, emails and feel more like working in a customer service or a general shop.
I really want to learn the craft. Do you think it would be better to switch to an independent shop and stay away from large chains? Also, how to do that? They never put job ads for opticians. I guess I should just walk in and ask the owners.
