Optician

In store

An optician is a vision care professional. Highly versatile, opticians may be called upon to carry out eye examinations on their customers and offer them different types of optical equipment: prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, magnifiers, vision aids for the visually impaired and so on.

Working in a physical store, and with a wide range of eyewear models to choose from, the optician may have to design and adjust optical frames to the measurements of each individual wearer. In this way, they are able to cut and adapt lenses to the shape of eyeglass frames.

The optician also has an advisory role, as he or she must be able to guide and suggest frames to customers that correspond to their expectations and needs.

The advantage of an in-store optician is that there is physical contact between the salesperson and the customer. The latter can feel more reassured.

Online

An online optician has exactly the same missions and characteristics as a traditional optician. They can design and fit frames, whether optical or sunglasses, and cut lenses to fit the shape of the eyewear perfectly. However, there are a few differences...

While the concept of the online optician is not new in many countries, it is not so in France. In fact, this phenomenon has only recently come into being, under pressure from the European Commission concerning free competition. Long the subject of suspicion, the phenomenon of online opticians is gradually taking off. There are now a great many of them on the web, but here are a few tips to help you make your choice:

Check that the optician is French and has a state-recognized diploma

Created by qualified French opticians, the mymonture.com website boasts real expertise and proven know-how in the field of eyewear. The team is made up of 9 people: Marie, Jennifer, Manon, Elise (all 4 opticians), Cloé (online third-party payment management), Mathilde (website management), Agathe (marketing) and Sébastien (SEO).
