I got no commision on a multifocal or a cr39 progressive. And I didn't educate the patient because I didn't know how. So, I believe that's what's still happening. They need people to sell glasses and most of the places don't care if you have experience or not. They'll hire you, give you a little bit of background in optical and throw you out to the dogs. I don't blame the people hired, I blame the corporations for doing it.
