Perry Brill's passion for optometry stems from his upbringing in a family with a long history in the field. His father, a respected optometrist with over four decades of experience, influenced Perry's decision to pursue a career in optometry. Despite initially considering a path in medicine during college, Perry found his calling in optometry after realizing his disdain for chemistry and lab work.
Perry delve into the national average salary for opticians, which falls far below what can be considered a livable wage. But fear not, because we also explore innovative solutions such as employing remote opticians to handle tasks like ordering and paperwork.
We also dive into the cutting-edge technology used in the eyewear industry, including Perry's's groundbreaking software called Specsfax, which converts faxed orders into digital orders and sends them to a lab management system.
Perry and I also explore the future of the industry, including the rise of virtual opticians and the potential for virtual fittings through platforms like Zoom. And with a growing need for more opticians, the possibilities are endless.
