Read on to get a taste of how our Dispensing Opticians feel about their careers at LFO
What led you to a position at Lynne Fernandes Optometrists?
Becky (Dispensing Optician and Company Trainer)– I was offered the change to train as a dispensing optician at LFO and jumped at the chance: that was 16 years ago!
Kerri (Dispensing Optician and Director of Operations)– I’d become disillusioned after setting up a hugely successful cold start up for a well know national chain and jumped at the chance to work with Gerard. I’ve now been here 19 years and look forward to spending my whole career at LFO.
Describe a perfect day working at LFO?
Kerri - Planning future projects to make our patient and team life easier.
Becky - Learning something new, that I can then pass on to all the teams in each practice.
Do you have a particular dispensing interest?
Becky - Bespoke frames, ensuring frames fit people’s faces perfectly, and colours!!
How do you best help patients and customers enjoy their experience at LFO?
Is there anything you struggle with?
Becky - Wanting to be able to train all the staff in all aspects, optics is a big world!!
How do you overcome such difficulties?
Becky - Planning and prioritising each practice and all team members
Are there any specific frame brands that you love to dispense?
Becky - Maui Jim are fantastic sunglasses, with fab lenses, when you show someone the vision through a great quality polarised lens they are wowed. Lindberg are our high end customisable rimless and rimed ranges. They are made of amazing quality materials and the engineering in the frames is far superior to other rimless ranges.
Are there any specific areas where you feel LFO look after routine patients beyond normal high street opticians?
Gerard- I am proud to work with such talented Dispensing Opticians who always go the extra mile to find the perfect frames and lenses for their patients. Please get in touch if you would like to join our award winning team - [email protected]
