New Opticians' Handbook Offers
Practical Basics and Education
NEW YORK--In a joint project with Safilo USA and Essilor Lenses,
Jobson LLC has published the new Opticians' Handbook, an
instructional guide to frame and lens dispensing basics, fitting
and education.
Distributed via the February 2005 issue of 20/20 Magazine, the
Handbook, a collaboration with Jobson's Opticianry Study Center, is
designed "to provide how-to's for opticians in any setting,
independent, chain, optometric office or ophthalmologic practice,"
according to Mark Mattison-Shupnick, director, continuing
education, Jobson Publishing. "Dispensers can use the Handbook as a
training piece for themselves or their staff and consider using the
material when setting learning and performance goals to measure
staff competence and provide reward at review time," he added.
The Handbook provides clear and concise descriptions, illustrations
and definitions of the Rx, measuring techniques, and the latest
technologies in frames, spectacle lenses and treatments, as well as
a guide to resources and CE requirements in the U.S.
Future updates to the Handbook are planned on a periodic basis.
