VISION AND BEYOND Pratik Bhatt of Zylux Lenses updates us about the various options available in lenses. Not all opticians seem to be aware of some specialty lenses that are available and he hopes to be able to shed some light on these THETYPE OFLENSES THATEVERY OPTICIANSHOULD KNOWABOUT Other than knowledge and experience, what opticians need to arm themselves with is information. And when I say information, it’s not just google or shared whatsapp messages that I am referring to. It’s about keeping abreast with knowledge shared by lens companies and educational institutions. Sometimes it may seem like this information is being shared mainly as a marketing exercise but that’s just one aspect of it. I am sure that no lens company would force an optician to buy something in exchange for sharing information. As an optician, you have every right and privilege to ask for this A s opticians, the primary objective is and will always be to provide better vision to consumers. Of course along with better vision, it is also the responsibility of an optician to provide better aesthetics. But better aesthetics is a matter of suggestion and choice but better vision is something that an optician is able to provide as he is qualified for it based on qualifications and experience. This differentiation is paramount to the role of an optician and this can never be replaced. 50 VISION PLUS INDIA EDITION
