How to become an optometrist Optometrist training instructions

An optometrist, as the name suggests, is a master who performs optical examinations on customers. In the minds of customers or patients, optometrists should be a very professional, standardized and authoritative profession. Of course, as a professional optometrist, it is true that we should focus on professionalism, carefully examine the optometry of each patient, and help solve problems for customers who need it. So, in today's economic society, while we are doing our professional work well, we must also consider the value generated by our profession. An excellent optometrist in an optical shop not only uses professional skills to issue prescriptions for patients' optometry examinations, but also helps the store improve sales. Being able to integrate professionalism and sales and become a sales-oriented professional optometrist requires continuous learning and summarizing experience.

The following are several successful cases in the store to share with you.

I remember that day, I went to a newly opened store in a county for an optometry consultation. The morning was almost over, and there was only one customer who came to repair glasses. The whole store seemed very quiet. I was reading in the optometry room, when a lady wearing glasses, probably in her 30s, came in.

Salesperson: "Hello, do you need glasses?"

Ms.: "My glasses are not clear anymore. I want to get a new pair, but I don't want to replace them with too expensive ones." "It's about a hundred yuan."

Salesperson: "Yes, we have glasses in various price ranges. However, it's best to let our optometrist do a comprehensive test for you first." Check it, and then decide which one is more suitable."

Ms.: "Well, let's check it first."

The salesperson took her into the optometry room. It's simple. I introduced me (the optometrist) to her.

I first checked and measured her original mirror, and then registered the information. (She is 33 years old, the result is: OU 1.50DS) Then the inquiry was made.

Me: "When did you get your glasses? How do you feel wearing them now?"

Woman: "I got them for about 12 years when I was in college. It didn't matter much at first." I have been wearing them for the past few years, but this year I don’t feel very clear again.”

Me: “It’s time to change your glasses, and the prescription must have changed when you were young. , I used to wear glasses for myopia, maybe I didn’t wear them for a few years, and then started wearing them again in the past few years.”

Ms.: “Yes, how do you know that I wore glasses when I was a child?”

Me: "Because you are born with farsightedness and amblyopia..."

After communicating for about 30 minutes, she was very excited and suddenly stood up and grabbed my hand. Want to shake my hand and scare me.

She said that after living for more than 30 years and wearing so many glasses, no one had ever told me the true condition of my eyes, nor had anyone told me what farsightedness, astigmatism, and amblyopia are. ...

After she calmed down, I spent about 10 minutes doing an optometry examination on her, then gave her a prescription, and gave her suggestions and precautions for wearing glasses.

She said: "I will wear whichever mirror you ask me to wear. I believe you!"

Since the power is 2.50D, I suggested that she choose the 1.50 one. Coated hyperopia lenses and a pair of stylish TR90 frames. The result was 380 yuan (no discount).

When she came to pick up glasses in the afternoon, she came to the optometry office and said to me: "Originally, I just wanted to get glasses worth 100 yuan, because my financial conditions are limited. However, what you told me, The advice you give is more important. I believe you and bring my son for a check next time.”

In fact, this is the power of professionalism!
