Opticians, confess to your silliest on-the-job bloopers
OK I'm sure we've all done something ridiculously silly on the job, and hopefully in your case, it wasn't a horrible non-fixable mistake (lol).
Here's my confession: Just this morning as I was checking in a patient's glasses with our manual lensometer, I compare the lab order to the physical glasses in complete shock that they sent us the demo lenses with no prescription.
*30 seconds pass*
My internal monolog: "Oh holy sh**, I don't even have her glasses on the lensometer"
PS They were made correctly once I actually DID check them in lmao
