Hands-On at ODMA: Why Practical Training Still Matters
What We Offered Led by our in-house experts, Jason Hanrahan and Roy Parker, we delivered four workshop modules designed to build confidence and capability in everyday optical repairs:
Rimless Repairs
Spring Hinge Techniques
Tool Time: Equipment Essentials
Eyewear Tools and Aids
The Response? Overwhelming. Here’s a quick look at the numbers:
✔️ 4 modules
✔️ 3 full days of workshops (12 total)
✔️ 55 participants over the 3 days
We welcomed long-time clients, met new faces, and saw our community come together to learn, share, and grow. The energy in the room was electric, and we couldn’t be more proud of the response.
Why It Matters. These workshops aren’t just about technique; they’re about empowering practices to:
Deliver better patient service
Reduce turnaround time on repairs
Build confidence across the team
Stay connected to the evolving tools and techniques of the trade
Save costs to the practice
What’s Next? If you missed the workshops this time, don’t worry; we’re planning more.
