I am always honest because my goal is to find out if my new glasses can be repaired & how much it will cost. By being honest I never had to pay any fees. Transitions peeling while washing it with fragrance free clear soap. Lens popping out of frame while running on a court. It took 5 trips for the store to finally get it right. I brought in a scratched lens to be replaced with a new lens. They did not replace it & still tried to bill me for it. It took 3 months to finally get replaced. Unfortunately since my optician retired every store I've purchased from the lens craftsmanship has been poor. As stated above. I now purchase from online. The most expensive online is not necessarily the best. I spent hours watching videos like yours & eye doctors to determine what lenses & coatings I need. Thanks for being so passionate about your job.

Thank you. I don't blame you heading online when you've experienced bad service. I personally think our industry is plagued by it. I've always aimed to provide world class service in our store and I like to think that's why our customers keep coming back. Thanks for the comment!

The Spectacle factory is my go to Opticians. First class customer care, a sense that every customer is an individual. A wide range of frames and lense choices, that can be tailored to individual requests. I know this personally as Robert has performed miracles, and given me the spectacles that I always dreamed about. I have tested his products around the world, in the African Bush and American desert. They exceeded the performance I expected and have never let me down. This is why I choose The Spectacle factory over any "High street" chain. Its not about the price, it's about the quality, the fit and the durability of the product that counts.

I found this just this evening. I have been thinking of going back to school and have had a growing interest in Optician jobs. It definitely sounds like something I could do, as I love working with people and helping people. I've always enjoyed time I've spent picking out glasses with opticians, as they are so friendly and knowledgeable. I want a career that I can become fairly confident in my work while also having things to challenge me from time to time. I have to find out what schools/programs are available for where I live. Do you have any you recommend? Is it better to do something in person as opposed to online for this type of work since it's so hands on? I live in the US. Thank you for this video! I'll definitely be checking out more from this channel.

I had Hoya Advantek glasses break while cleaning them with cloth at work. God they were so amazing. But discontinued. The optometrist fixed them but I assume that’s why they were discontinued.
@thespectaclefactory2 жыл бұрын
Great design! We also had a few pairs break, but most didn't within 3 years. I think they were discontinued simply because they didn't sell many. You should check out Flair and Reykjavik Eyes if you like rimless.

Pick smaller lenses. I'm -6.75 and -6.50. Trust me. It works. 😁 I used to pick large lenses thinking it would help my peripheral vision. But after suffering pain from hurting ears and face, I was ready to sacrifice my peripheral vision. After all, I'm not a commando or a hunter. I don't need peripheral vision.

He is from Britain. I don't know how much he makes, but here in the US if you start as an apprentice it starts at $15/hr, when you get the certificate the pay increases to ~$20/hr, and when you get the Optician License by the state you start at +-$30/hr. I think the money is good. You are not slaving away at a warehouse, or working fast food. Also, the career is short, so you don't have to spend years in college.

“It’s clear that you drove over them in a dump truck”, that really tickled me! 🤣 I have a relative who is very presbyopic. After one bad experience at a well known high street optical, he swears blind that his £5 drugstore readers are sufficient. 🙈 If only I could convince him to see someone like you; to show him what he’s missing out on. 😏

Thanks Martin. A lot of people are put off nice glasses by their experience with bad glasses, which is sort of counterintuitive but I can understand how he feels based off previous experience.
