If you had bought shares in COA when this post (June 10th, 2013) was started, as of today you'd be up 86% ROI.

They fit, adjust and make lens recommendations. Also do eye exams on site. They also have two opticians on staff and an on site optometrist. What's your concern idispense?

It's unfortunate that a self regulated profession such as the opticians of Ontario have had such a bad run of luck. I remember years ago the board and the opticians they served took great pride in...

I always thought the disruptive patterns of idispense on the forums mirrored those of Jay Hakim on the college board. That's why i believe they are the same.

Jay Hakim is not as disruptive on the...

Jay/idispense, are you saying that your board conspired to dismantle the field inspectors in order to open up the market for online dispensing? That makes no sense since its outside of Ontario and...

Reason idispense is so angry, is that he is probably Jay Hakim, college board member. He can't come out and admit it because his harsh words and criticism of the college itself would leave him open...

idispense, you've already started a thread about this in -> Duh ?? What was the purpose in this ??
My topics is separate from your legal concerns. My thread has to do with a separate matter. If...

Can anyone verify whether or not the college staff are resigning in mass exodus do to less that professional behavior of the board members?

You can't ask questions, you're a simple observer according to the RHPA. If it was being done before, it was probably a goodwill gesture on behalf of the council towards the attendees.

Heard that both Georgian and Seneca college gave been approached by the board to close their refracting programs.
Wonder why this is happening now.

Reference was made to taking extra care everything is correct and done proper. Great glasses took years for them.

idispense,

where on the college website does it state that they sent people to Switzerland? I cannot find anything on their website that mentions that. Also I cannot find any mention of the...

Yes, so has anyone heard from Mr Hakim and his reason for the guard?

Thanks for the feedback folks. I've found the Nikon Online to be a good all round 'computer/office' lens and the parameters (indices, degression values) seem to give enough variety to answer most, if...

Looking to get some insight on the Zeiss Business lens or any other comparable lenses on the market.

Just another lazy fat-cat collecting a pay check for doing nothing. Get rid of him!!!!

If you run into Jay Hakim ask him the tough questions, what are his plans for refracting for opticians, why is he and the college set on making opticians delegate and lose their jobs! Ask me Who paid...

Flyingeyeguy I'm with you. 20/20 & tennispro are not who they appear to be. I find it odd that an "ophthalmic tech" from flushing NY, such as 20/20, would give a damn about anything in Ontario. Look...

Tennispro, Jay is a frame rep and does not dispense.
You can check on the college website for more info on Jay Hakim. A quick member search confirms that he is not dispensing. You can find it here. ...

Really. I heard Jay Hakim has been tape recording conversations with opticians and then filing complaints with the college. my only advice, if he comes in your shop, watch what you say To him and ask...

Why you slagging Fazal Khan? Whats a conflict of interest?

Oh, my apologies Chris, $44K/yr. Hope this makes you feel better. BTW, Tim Horton's is paying $22K/yr for cashiers. Does this make them a profession now?

Actually, it looks like an image from someones facebook account. Nice to see that creepy jerks aren't excluded from optiboard.

No doubt, this is another good employee gone. Who do you turn to now for direction? Hopefully not the same useless board and president that have ruined the profession. Thanks COO for another crappy...
