Optician Online - The Big Optometry Blog

A new piece of silverware ( metaphorically speaking) has been added to the Optician cabinet.
Publishing a magazine can be a thankless task. You break your back delivering news, writing features and providing all those bits of information that make life bearable for your readers. The only feedback you get is when the website has broken down.

But what is this? Optician has won an award. An award from the Thomas Tallis School in Lewisham.
A certificate in recognition of Optician for its support in supporting the school's work experience programme.
The accolade arises from Optician's recent agreement to take on a work experience placement from the school for a week. A year ten girl spent a week with the team finding out what it was like to be a journalist.

We must have been good to get a certificate. I feel like the employee of the month. It takes so little to make folk happy.

Although its been widely accepted that supermarket opticians have not brought about the apocalypse in optometry that some doom-mongering practitioners envisaged, the thought of another major retailer trying its hand at providing GOS could bring some practitioners out in a cold sweat, especially if the name Woolworths is mentioned.

What with all this talk of credit crunch I found myself on an internet link to surviving on the oncoming recession.

This video was posted recently as a comment but due to the flood of spam comments and posting on my Ironman team blog was sadly over looked. Sorry cilliaryblue.

Those of you watching the One Show on BBC One ( funnily enough) this week will have seen Lynn Hansford in action on a BBC reporter promoting the benefits of seeing an optometrist. Yes, you read correctly, a BBC reporter suggesting to people that it might be a good idea to go to the optician.
