    Proper frame adjustment, Repairing optical frames. Peculularities of facial shapes, ears, noses, etc. Measuring for special applications, including occupational lenses. Customizing optical frames. How to tell if we are being sold dead overstocks as cash cows. Proper alignment of frames and lenses. How to identify and remove and replace coatings. Comparitive visual acuities with all types of bifocal and multifocal lenses. Identification and repair of all frame materials.

    Chip

    Of course these would be Optical courses, not bookkeeping and sales.
