Cheat Sheets for Dispensing Opticians: Quick Optical Concept Reference Guide (Workbooks For Apprentice Opticians) : Lessard, Shawn A: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Good contents for budding DO’s - Informative book. Quality feels quite homemade, but the content is valuable for budding dispensing opticians or anyone who wants to know a bit more about optics. Review: THERE ARE BLANK PAGES SO THAT YOU CAN WRITE YOUR NOTES, HOWEVER THE DETAILS ARE SPARCE AND THERE REALLY IS NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION TO HELP YOU DURING YOUR DAY IF YOU ARE A NEW OPTICIAN LIKE MYSLEF. I EXPECTED MORE DETAILS AND EXAMPLES OF SITUTAIONS REGARDING PRSCRIPTIONS AND LENSES, PATIENT'S NEEDS. I.E. 1) WHAT WOULD BE SUITABLE AND WHAT WOULD NOT BE SUITABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CERTAIN PRESCIPTIONS? 2) IF A PERSON HAS A HIGH PRESCRIPTION I.E. -9 OR + 9 A PAIR OF RAY BAN AVIATORS WOULD NOT WORK FOR THEM AS THE LENSE WOULD BE VERY DENSE AND NOT PRACTICAL 3) WHO COULD WEAR RIMLESS OR SEMI RIMLESS FRAMES? ETC, ETC. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF REMINDERS HAD BEEN INLUCDED SUCH AS: 1) ON MEASURING PROGRESSIVE LENSES, WHAT WOULD BE A TYPICAL RX FOR THIS AND THE BEST SUITED FRAME REGARDING THE FACT THAT A LINE IS ACROSS THE LENSE 2) WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST SUITABLE AND PRACTICAL FRAMES AND COATING FOR DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES AND OCCUPATIONS OF PATIENTS I.E. IF SOMEONE IS ON A COMPUTER A LOT, OR IN A JOB THAT REQUIRES THEM TO BE OUTSIDE I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED IT MORE IF THE BOOK HAD BEEN (AS IT WAS VERY THIN FOR THE PRICE) THICKER AND SMALLER IN SIZE , SO IT IS COMPACT AND THE TEXT SHOULD BE BIGGER IN SIZE WITH MORE PRACTICLE DETAILS OF AN OPTICIANS DUTIES ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. I FOUND THAT IT WAS CUMBERSOME WHEN I HAD IT ONCE TO SHOW MY CO-WORKERS AT MY DESK TO READ ,WHO WHERE NOT IMPRESSED EITHER WITH THE CONTENT. IT DOES NOT FIT IN ANY DRAWERS EITHER AND BECAUSE IT IS FLIMSY AND THIN IT BENDS AND EASILY CRUMPLES.. I THINK THE FRONT COVER SHOULD BE MORE SUBTLE AND NOT HAVE WRITTEN ON IT “CHEAT SHEETS” AS PEOPLE COMMENTED ON IT WHEN THEY SAW ME WITH IT AND IF PATIENST SAW IT THEY WOULD LOSE CONFIDENCE IN AN OPTICIAN IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS BEING USED. "CHEAT SHEETS" WOULD HAVE BEE BETTER TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN INSIDE THE BOOK! IN THE END, IT DID NOT HAVE WHAT I NEEDED WHAT SO EVER AND I HAD WASTED MY MONEY AS IT WAS NOT HELPFUL AND VERY DISSAPOINTING! I FOUND THAT THE BEST WAY TO WAS TO TAKE MY OWN NOTES THAT I PRODUCED DURING MY COLLEGE COURSE WHICH I FOUND MY CO-WORKERS USING. MY NOTES ARE IN POINT FORM, WITH MINI DIAGRAMS AND FACT BASED WITH EXAMPLES. MY NOTES HAVE TITLES FROM SMALL STICKERS LIKE BOOK MARKS THAT I CAN SEE WHEN MY BOOK IS CLOSED SO IF I NEED TO REMEMBER QUICLKEL, FOR EXAMPLE WHAT MYOPIA IS: I CAN LOOK AT THE SICKY NOTES WHICH READS “VISION CONDITIONS” MYOPIA:- Nearsightedness (myopia) is a common vision condition when a person can see objects near clearly, but at a distance they appear farther away and are blurry. The reason is the shape of your eye causes light rays to bend (refract) incorrectly, this makes images focus in front of the retina instead of on your retina. with examples of myopia prescription and what type of frame a patient could wear. THE PRICE OF THIS BOOK IS EXPENSIVE CONSIDERING THE THINNESS AND CONTENTS. I DO NOT RECOMEDND THIS BOOK. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND MAKE YOUR OWN NOTES YOUR SELF USING YOUR OWN METHOD. THAT WAY YOU CAN HAVE A BOOK LIKE MINE MENTIONED EARLIER THAT IS SUBTLE, COMPACT AND WITH ALL YOUR NOTES THAT YOU REQUIRE AND YOU CAN REFER TO UNTIL YOU GROW ACCUSTOMED TO DAILY TASKS AND CAN REMEMBER ALL YOU HAVE LEARNED FORM YOUR COURSE.

This book is so handy my company ordered 12 for new and established opticians. Weeks of training a new optician are eliminated by giving them this book to study. We even have receptionists who have taken the book home to study because really, who wants to be a receptionist for life. Easy explanations of complex optical problems and great photos of eye structures. I recommend it highly and I am an optician with 30 years experience.
