“What does an optician say about their job and popular glasses today?”

Q. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an optician?
A. After graduating from a two- or four- year college program in optometry and obtaining a national certification, you can easily open your own store with a certain amount of capital. That’s the advantage—you can be your own boss. However, the downside is that you spend a lot of time tied to the shop, which is why many young people tend to change jobs frequently.

Q. Do you recommend becoming an optician?
A. It’s an attractive career! You’re not limited to just being a sales associate; there are various career paths, such as working for eyewear manufacturers. Plus, nowadays, there are many online platforms where you can sell glasses.

Q. Which brand of glasses are you currently wearing?
A.    I’m    wearing    ‘Anne    et Valentin,’ a French brand. Many celebrities wear them too.

Q.  What  is  the  most popular eyewear design these days?
A.    Considering    both horn    spectacles    and metal frames, the most popular design right now comes  from  the  ‘Tom Ford’  brand.  The  brand itself is very popular, especially among customers in their 20s to 40s.

Q. What is the best way to clean glasses perfectly?
A. The best way is to have them cleaned at an optical shop. However, if you need to clean them at home, first rinse them under running water, then gently rub them with soap or cleanser. Rinse again under running water and use a cleaning cloth provided by your optician to dry them completely.

Q. How can I prevent my glasses from fogging up?
A. There are anti-fog lenses available with special coatings to prevent fogging. However, these lenses have lower density and are recommended only for people  in  specific  professions  requiring  frequent temperature changes, such as moving in and out of freezers. They are also about 20–30% more expensive than regular lenses.

Q. How has sponsorship impacted your life? 
A.  Practicing  sharing  with  others  has  made  me emotionally richer.

Q.   Any   words   for   those   hesitant   about sponsorship?
A.  People  often  think  sponsorship  has  to  be something grand or significant—this isn’t true! You can start with small amounts and approach it lightly and easily. I hope others try starting small as well.
