I've been wanting to get some feedback for those that are still practicing opticians as a mobile service business.

Is the desire for this service there? To survive i can only imagine offering...

Thanks Chris. I was looking for the site, but couldn't remember the exact name.

Has anyone here heard anything of Lux acquiring IRIS? I wouldn't believe it, but just wondering if anyone else has heard anything

Well I guess this comment is fair from how I wrote things lol. It doesn't bother me where it will make me insecure. Like I said if was a random thought. "why would people need to make simple lies...

The part that is "free" in the equation is our service (In some people's eyes)


drk, I truly believe it depends on the establishment and what the service is.
solder/temple...

I appreciate your first comment to the thread eyeguy21. It is nice to know that there are those that feel the same.
Like I said...I am all for service, no matter where the glasses are from or...

I agree with this statement. Though I take it as if you are indirectly grouping me with one that does not care about the employer's business. It is quite the opposite, I do my best in trying to...

Welcome to Optiboard!!!

I am new as well. It is really refreshing to have this resource as it helps mature you and grow as a vision care provider. I've learned many things in the forums and...

Hahaha...it is probably the sleep thing. I do not mean to offend others, as I do whatever I can to keep customers and help new ones. Whether it be a quick adjustment, repaire, or even cleaning. My...

I mean what the title says. Though I may be too nice and weak to refuse simple repairs.

Aside from the patients who are travelling/do not live close to where they purchased their glasses and...

That sounds nice. Charging extra over your base rate depending on the notice given. I know of one that subs in for mondays just so the owner can golf. Now that's the life.

Are these opticians their own business?

Also is there already too many of this kinda of optician around? Is it better off to stay with a company 30-40 hours a week? What are some of the upsides...

That is exactly what I mean my friend. I'm still not sure if I would try it and advertise a day or two a week for a store, or strictly vacations or fill-ins. I don't mind the driving either...why...

To those who have been or are freelance dispensing opticians, could you please list some of the pros and cons of such a venture?

I think it would be a great way to get my feet wet as someone...

If I disliked my job so much and I tried everything to try and make it better, but did not work. I would not stay even if you paid me a 6 figure salary.

The stress you endure > The money...

Is that a standard happening? I was under the impressiong when shipping to a lab you're paying for the shipping.
Do you clarify how things will work before hand (including the shipping costs)?
...

Funny you should say this. I know some students who have friends in other classes (at the same institution) that go into lecture halls at the local university and just sit in and listen. I've done...

Also, I will be asking my past employer about this, just to get feedback. (forgot to mention)

On my past terms of employment as an intern optician I have been evaluated as being a great employee, but on both have been told I need to develop my problem solving skills. Is there any way to work...

Hash browns & bacon :D ...oh yes and fluffy pancakes.

When really rushed, toasted bread/croissant with nutella and a glass of milk works for me!

Ant killer!

Happiness is enjoying work

Sorry I'm not familiar with the process and just want clarification. Is the remote tracing just more information for them so they can choose the best scenario on their end? Or are you able to...

I chuckled at this one. As much as I think it's funny, I think that would actually bring more attention to online buying. Not that no one knows about it already. So I guess that name is okay then...

I'm way behind in owning my own optical (if I still decide to), but it doesn't help to plan...A LOT. That was something that came up while thinking. When thinking of a name sure you want it...
