Board Certification in FL
A Dr. friend of mine has asked that I look into taking the CL fitting course to become board certified in FL. I agree with him that this is a great next logical step in my career, but of course he is interested in how it would benefit his practice. My question is do any of you that are board certified in FL have a schedule similar to a doc to do fittings through out the day? Also, what is a going rate for a CL fitting (with or without eyeglass rx)? Can insurance be billed under the optician or the doctor?
Thanks for any advice.

Bausch & Lomb Vertometer 21-65-70
"Inherited" a really old lensometer/vertometer from one of our docs who was going to toss it out because it no longer lights up. Checked everything over and found that the wires on the light source had worked loose and shorted out. Re-soldered them in place and macgyvered a new holder for the socket. Bulb is toast however and replacements are difficult to come by. My question is, would it be possible/advisable to re-wire the whole thing and put in a battery powered LED light source? The old wiring is just that... OLD. I'm afraid that it could someday short again and cause a fire. An LED light source would eliminate the heat and the worry about a fire, but I'm concerned about any effect on the accuracy of the readings.

***In need of some advice***Are licensed opticians happy in***
dimanche 8 mai 2016
I used to worked in the optical industry several years ago and I enjoyed it. I took about a semester of courses towards becoming a licensed optician, so if I were to go back I would have roughly a year and a half left.
I am currently at a job making roughly 50-60k a year but I do not really enjoy my work. I am in a position to go back to school part time and finish my degree and work a day or two a week as an optician. Also, the field I am in may not be around for much longer. I do not despise my current job, but I remember selling glasses at an optical store while working toward my degree was way more fun and fulfilling than what I do now.
Also, what is the ceiling of how much I can expect to make after obtaining my state license and passing the ABO and NCLE? Will obtaining an ABOM make a difference as far as salary or career outlook? Can I teach with an ABOM or do I need a teaching degree?
As far as starting an optical store as a licensed optician, how much am I looking at to start a place up? In everyones opinion here, is owning a store worth the stress? Or is working for someone better overall? Do the financial ends justify the means as far as owning an optical business being a licensed optician in oppose to being an optometrist (or at all)?
Last and CERTAINLY not least, how happy is everyone with their situation working as a licensed optician? Do you licensed opticians out there enjoy your work?
I live in New York so any advice specific to my area is highly appreciated, as well as all other advice and thoughts.
I would love to hear everyone's opinion. :smile:
