    I would suggest investing in....EYE EXAMS! Line up your family members, and book appointments for yourself and your family with target optoms in your vicinity.

    What better way to have their complete and total attention for at least 10 minutes, and hit them with your best "I'm looking to hire............and do you know of anyone that might be interested?....." sell spiel.

    Good luck! ( I find this method cheaper than dinner for four!)

    Check with your local provincial regulations. I believe that in some provinces, unless you're also an OD, you are not permitted to hire one onto the payroll.

    you don't have to hire an optometrist you set them next door with a separate entrance they do their own billing and the charts belong to him usually they have two or three locations and the opticians get the RX
