At the end of December 2020 MyEyeDr had purchased Insight Optical and I had a brief employment experience with them until the beginning of March.

The manager who gave me the opportunity at Lenscrafters was leaving the company and offered me to come with them to ForEyes. My job primarily consisted of selling glasses, trouble shooting, and general repairs. I worked a lot of closing shifts by myself, and was very comfortable working alone if needed as there was never an issue I couldn't handle on my own. I eventually was transferred to the Burlington M.A. location where I spent the last year with the company and started my apprenticeship through the state of Massachusetts.

At 18 I started my career in the optical field at lenscrafters. Pretests for the OD exam lane, measurements, fitting, trouble shooting, lab work with cutting of lenses.
