@@ezraarrambide-webb6807 Can you tell me how its going? I am going to an interview and while there is no guarantee I'll be even hired, this is the career field I want to continue to pursue. Was it difficult to learn everything?
Hey, I know that it's 3 years later, but try Walmart or Sam's! I got in and now am scared because it is a lot of info to know and remember! Good luck and hope you find what you're looking for!
I'm a dispesing optician in Switzerland and we clearly don't recommend Polycarbonate lenses. They get scratched easily and there's just no advantage worth buying it expect they're a little bit more shatterproof (regarding the fact that's already hard to break any other kind of lens material). In all the years i've been working I never saw anyone breaking their lenses.
I have a job interview tomorrow and I know NOTHING about Optometry 😩 I’m taking notes and studying in hopes I can score this job. I think I’ll really enjoy it!
@@kaylanetanya oh really? But there is an associates degree for opticianry, so im guessing if you have a degree you have more chances of getting the job and get paid better at least
I personally feel many people just kind of pick there own frames without us opticians having a sit down like that.. But other than that very impressed by this video!
I've been working at the vision center at Walmart for a day and I am stressed, scared, and confused! I am having doubts about working here! And yes, it is hard!
As an optician I feel we should all stop pushing polycarbonate on our patients.. And start talking about trivex/Phoenix or mid index. However you'd like to call it. Poly has horrible optics
MsMetalBabe100 But honestly... i've never seen anyone crack a 1.6 material lens. Trivex (/poly) should only be used for safety glasses or sports glasses.
NiHaLxSeNnAr really I'm just anti poly, I wore it for years before I got in the field.. now there is no way I would wear it again. we get clearer /sharper vision out of plastic, trivex, high index. Poly is always my last resort.
and as an optician you should understand most insurance companies only cover poly for children or those under 19 and not everyone can afford a premium lens like "Trivex". I wear the Essilor Poly Eyezen lens and love it, I am an ABO/NCLE optician in Oregon and can guarantee you poly benefits more younger people than you think, what if the patient has a rimless frame and cant afford a high index lens? very few insurance companies cover these or even remotely give a huge discount, I complete disagree with you here.
Hello. It helps for learning optician training.I would like to take a optician exam . I already korean optician but for retest to become an Canadian optician . Could you recommend one of book for study ? Thanks
See if the lenses were correctly ordered for your glasses and measurements were correctly taken with the optician. If this holds correct, I’d recommend requesting a follow up appointment with your optometrist.
You need to go back and have them recheck your PD wish is the distance from pupil to pupil. sometimes if it’s off and if that doesn’t work have the eye Dr recheck your prescription again. You have to do it asap so they won’t charge the exam again.
Im so nervous, theres this good doctor that accepts (well not yet but he kinda said that hes considering me greatly) my job application, its my first interview so its very very awkward, anyway i want to watch alot of videos about optometry so i dont look like an idiot during training... well i hope so.
lmao... most people who spend the money on prescription glasses want both a good field of vision and lenses that suit them. there is a market for it regardless of your opinion. clearly you do not understand the nature of business and sales, or the phycology of the average consumer. i would suggest not getting into this line of work if you find it to be beneath you.
Don't worry, I have no intention of doing that. The market is one which has been created by the large chains rather than implicit customer demand. There are certainly opticians which do not take this approach and concentrate on actually helping the customer with their eyesight issues, first and foremost.
Nobody said looking nice takes priority. But there's literally nothing wrong with your glasses looking nice while you wear them. That's why there are so many styles and colors available.
Why would you push a child to have polycarbonate lenses when they have a really high prescription, it's only a 1.59 index. CR39 can provide higher refractive indexes, at a max 1.67 if really needed and generally using a 1.6 with the correct frame choice and centring is best practice. Polycarbonate lenses are more scratch prone and have a lower abbe/v-value making them pretty rubbish to look through. They are far more useful for people who need safety spectacles. If you would really insist on safer more resistant lenses, Trivex lenses are much better for the sporting activities children would usually do. You also refer to 'anti glare' lenses which is totally inaccurate, those lenses quite simply just reduce unwanted 'surface reflections' on the lenses, they will do very little against the sun or car headlights. It is an 'anti-reflection coating'. Only polarised lenses will cut horizontal 'glare'. I don't mean to be negative about this video, but there is so much misinformation with regards to the sale of over marketed Essilor products, as good as they are. Read a basic dispensing guide people! Would recommend 'Essentials of Dispensing' by Tunnacliffe.
As a Licensed Optician, I can say that this is absolutely NOT the way that Opticianry should be practiced. This sounds more like the crap you would hear from a big box chain optical store or from a brand rep. Please do everyone a favor and just remove this.
Crush unfortunately in most optical companies yes they tend to be sales reps. However all licensed opticians know the anatomy of the eye as well as how to adjust/dispense prescription glasses as well as contact lenses. There is far more to being an optician then this video goes into. This is all sales bs

polycarbonate lenses are more lighter and thinner than cr lense, and it comes with uv protection
As an optical lab tech/ optician, poly has many more advantages over plastic...
What school should I attended to study this please
Amazing video,really helpful and straight to the well presented points. Thank you so much. Great work

EeveeChick10 not even a good safety lens, they still crack. Trivex all the way!

Great stuff, I salute!
Nice video, but did I hear you say tinted sunglass lenses do not have UV protection? Maybe not but you can add UV protection to non-polorized lenses
I just got some glasses but I can't see very well with them. I've been wearing glasses for ~ 15 yrs , its the 1st time this has happened😒

I do not thing the f series is the best.. it is situational.. personally sell auto III for general use
Nice informative video
Thanks for the video 👍
they have uv protection if they have a polycarbonate tinted lens. only an optician for a year but lol
All poly is uv 400
Im so nervous, theres this good doctor that accepts (well not yet but he kinda said that hes considering me greatly) my job application, its my first interview so its very very awkward, anyway i want to watch alot of videos about optometry so i dont look like an idiot during training... well i hope so.
i know i’m like 4 months late but did you ever get the job? i’m thinking about applying as an optician too & im soooo nervous haha
Hello how can i apply as optician..im working here in the philippines for more than 10years experience..
I want to know how digitally can check my retina condition instead of checking after displaying by the doctor
Interesting video
helpful tips thanks
Hair colour!!!???? Clothes colour??? What does this have to do with glasses prescription?!
you are helping people to find frames that they like and work with their face. its not that hard to figure out lol
OK, I see. So looking nice in your glasses takes priority over whether they give you a good field of vision.
lmao... most people who spend the money on prescription glasses want both a good field of vision and lenses that suit them. there is a market for it regardless of your opinion. clearly you do not understand the nature of business and sales, or the phycology of the average consumer. i would suggest not getting into this line of work if you find it to be beneath you.

Stotty01 you put kids in polycarbonate lenses because they're shatterproof lenses.
can I get it one job madam
As an Optician. This is complete BS! It's all marketing. Progressive lenses are okay, at best. Even the best ones out there still suck.
There’s a new one you should look into called the xvp which is based around your dominate hand
Thanks
I'm spect fitter any job for me
Crizal is the worst than chinese lens

Bryan Finley can you explain why you think this? Genuinely curious as to why you think so little of this video and what was said
Are opticians considered a salesman? Do they have a sales goal?
