A day in the life of an Optegra optometrist

Optometrist’s role

I have been qualified for 12 years. The work I have previously done has varied from practising both in independent and high street optometry practices to 10 years doing a wide variety of domiciliary work and also time spent as a locum optometrist. The opportunity of something new and exciting in a different working environment really appealed to me.
