We Did It Again!
In our ever-changing industry, Acquios Advisors sees where our clients excel, and we pay attention to where we see opportunities for growth. In the past, colleges offered courses on opticianry. We decided it is time to bring this back and get our opticians excited about the job they are performing. We are teaming up with Doug Pelkey and his team at Europa and Ron Vinceslio, one of our most loyal and trusted vendor partners, to deliver the first ever Acquios Alliance Opticianry Cornerstone Training and Enhancement Workshop this October in the beautiful city of Chicago. Joining us will also be Rick Norwood with Norwood Instruments to bring in lensometers for hands-on training and experience. We could not be more excited to teach your opticians to be fully trained opticians with expansive knowledge on Lensometry, measurements, adjusting, repairs, and even more! We will spend a day and a half learning and even get a tour of Europa’s renowned facilities to see and experience firsthand how frames are manufactured. This knowledge is invaluable and will get your opticians excited to share everything they learn with your office and patients. They will walk away with confidence in their ability to educate your patients about optics, why measurements matter, how to repair frames of all types, troubleshooting eyewear, and more.
As a reminder,
Acquios Advisors Mission Statement is, “We listen with compassion and collaboratively develop and implement a plan to support you and your team. We deliver Insight that Inspires.”
Acquios Alliance Mission Statement says, “We create value for our Members by collaborating with Vendors to support Private Optometric Practices, enhancing the foundation of patient care. Our Alliance Empowers your Independence.”
It is through these mission statements that we create programs like this one to bring as much value as possible to you and your teams. We see you and want only the best for you and your practice. With this workshop, you can expect to see improved employee retention. With the knowledge provided by Doug, Scott, Teresa, and more with various certifications, your employees will be confident in the work they are doing, what they know, and how much they can change the lives of the patients that walk through your door. It is this kind of excitement that keeps great employees excited to come to work. You can also expect a decrease in chair cost and improved clinic efficiency. With a more educated team, your staff will have the skillset necessary to make certain the patient’s eyewear will be what they need, is ordered correctly day one, and will be able to properly work through the steps necessary to adjust and evaluate lenses and frame fit instead of scheduling patients for rechecks.

Sincerely
Rick Guinotte
President/CEO
