    The Future of Opticianry Is Threatened

    The future of opticianry is being threatened by a recent scientific discovery that if not legislated against will be the final nail in the coffin. Despite the failed efforts to raise the skill set and professionalism through education and licensing the handwriting is clearly on the wall. The future pay scale will be reduced to mere bananas but at least you will not have to listen to co-worker complaints of high gas prices.

    Lets not make sport of this.

    Now come on . . . this is serious business. Big Optical is busy cornering the market on bananas and buying up research facilities to investigate simian refraction. Can't you just picture J Fred Muggs swinging from autorefractor to phoropter. "Save Money - Live Better"
