Did you know that the OAA is opening the Guild to individual opticians? Being an independent optician doesn't mean you have to go it alone. The purpose of the Guild is to unite Independent Opticians and use their collective voice to strengthen their position in the marketplace. The Guild was formed in 1926 to establish the highest-level skill set for opticianry that an office could attain. To be a member of the Guild meant your office had met the strictest standard achievable.
As part of a more-than-a-decade-long mission to further optical education, John Seegers, Director of Education, and Keith Benjamin, Director of Marketing for Laramy-K Optical have developed a new concept in optician staff training that brings the practical element back to optician training.
