Dear Reader
08-2008
 Welcome to the fourth edition of the Opticians’ Handbook. This year’s Handbook has been redesigned to provide an educational tool that is helpful for readers at all experience levels. Up front we highlight new trends, products and technologies that are changing the way that opticians deliver the best in eyewear. The balance of the booklet covers the principles and the basics of fitting and dispensing eyewear. There are five main sections:
1) What’s New
2) The Consumer/Patient
3) Lens and Frame Considerations
4) Needs Based Solutions
5) Lab Considerations
Each covers the rich variety of lens and frame material, design and treatment opportunities that can make exceptional glasses for every patient.
We have tried to make this book useful for the experienced optician and provide the necessary details needed by the new optician. Use it as a basis for training or to augment a more detailed educational program.
Of course, it can’t provide all the information available about dispensing eyewear so be sure to contact your Essilor and Luxottica Group representatives, your Essilor lab or contact them for more information about the promotional and product programs we have to help grow you and your business.
This issue of the Opticians’ Handbook is also located at 2020mag.com and at luxandme.com. Online, the Handbook will be available in a new active text format where clicking on words and phrases opens definitions, examples and illustrations. Past issues can be seen there also.
As always, Essilor and Luxottica Group are pleased to sponsor the 2008 Edition of the Opticians’ Handbook.
