I was curios what you think a good Dr to optician ratio would be. On a given day I will have 2-3 ODs and at least 1-2 MDs and sometimes 3. I feel like I can barely keep up with orders let alone do frame returns, check in glasses, call patient, clean, and most importantly spend time with patients asking and answering questions. If I actually have a slower day I find myself frenetically trying to get things done. I am the only optician in my office. last year it wasn't as bad but we have hired more doctors. They hired more techs as well but they have forgotten the lowly optician. Does one optician seem right? I feel I could do so much more if I had help at least two or three days a week. How many opticians work in your office? How many would you think would be ideal when you doctors can see 90+ patients a day?
