Seth Belson of Essex thought the following link might prove interesting/amusing to Optician readers. As someone who works with words I take no pleasure in typographical errors. There are the obvious effects/affects, in optics the missing first ‘h’ in ophthalmology etc. Hong Kong is always worth a second look and we alsomost had a bit [...]
What with all the latest excitement about Bat Man I stumbled across the picture above and couldn’t resist. Unfortunately (see Optician on Friday) not something that is likely to happen again in the future.
I am not often moved to comment on rivals but I was shocked and dismayed by OT ‘s decision last week to publish a story about a 19 year old woman posing naked in adverts for an optician. Not only did OT not specify if she was a registered optometrist but they didn’t publish the [...]
Having recently enjoyed reading Portuguese author José Saramago’s novel Blindness, I thought it worth a post as not only does it deal with a epidemic of ocular disorder on a grand scale but has also been made into a film that features Mark Ruffalo as a ophthalmologist.

Anyone attending Independents Day last week will have seen optometrist and staff development consultant Sarah Morgan in full voice. Here is a short clip of her at the Nivea funny women awards. If anyone has the full version from ID ’08 put it on You Tube and I’ll create a link. There was more than [...]
Optometrists are generally perceived to have received poorer treatment than doctors and dentists over their NHS contracts, but government contracts are not the only area in which optics receives a worse deal in comparison to other health services. Optics in the arts is another area which could lead practitioners to feel aggrieved over the indifference [...]
This Friday’s Optician will carry a story on the latest Mintel report. Among its suggestions is that glasses may become part of a company uniform.
