I have been lucky enough to work for Canon Street Optometrists for almost three years now, the last two of which I have been working towards completing a two-year course to become a qualified Dispensing Optician.
I can now safely say I’ve completed my course and due to graduate at the end of October.

I really enjoyed the course and can’t wait to utilise my knowledge helping our clients.
We have a fantastic team here and I hope there are more people out there who actually enjoy going to work every day like I do, the fact that we sell beautiful designer frames is just a bonus.
