My manager, Mr. Jim, has been in optics for at least 40 years. He is very good at what he does. I hope to be able to edge down lenses as well as he does one day, but I know most opticians have never taken the time or had the opportunity to learn that specific optical skill.
For Example: A patient will come into our office with a broken frame 5+years old that has now been discontinued. He will offer to find a new frame on the board and edge down the patient's old lenses into the new frame at no cost.
My question to all of you is: Do you charge a fee for that to be done? If so how much?
I told my manager I was going to pose this question because I felt he did not see the value of his own skill. We are both curious to see what you all have to say.
Thanks, Renay
