What would you think an optician would need in order to consider them selves a specialist in a given field?
I have had to dispense and fit glasses on many children some with disabilties. I enjoy it and feel that I have become pretty good at it as well. I am now reading some books on pediatric dispensing and pediatric disorders to really understand and help most situations that I may encounter while fitting glasses for children. I am also attempting to learn all of the ASTM standards for sports eyewear as well as lens and frame materials required for sports eywear and were the frames for any given sports can be supplied from.
I hope that after a few years I would be able to consider my self an optician with a specialty in sports and pediatric eye wear. What do you think a person would need to learn and accomplish to call them selves a specialist in anything?
