Author: Jenell Spino

I have been a dual licensed optician for 17 years and in that time have worked in various aspects of healthcare from low vision to teaching to hospital administrative and billing work. Each career move has prepared me for the next and I am 100% certain the variety of healthcare experiences has truly given me the skills and knowledge needed to continue to grow professionally. In eyecare I have worked in both the private and retail chain sectors and have learned a lot from both. Most recently I have gone back to part time work as a licensed optician in the state of Ohio and have been enjoying my work with doctors and patients while expanding myself professionally into the world of writing.

What I love about my career as an optician is the time and flexibility it has allowed me with my family. Most days I am home with my two boys ages 6 and 4. They are only this young once and I cannot express enough how thankful I am to be able to share in these precious years with them.

Elizabeth has been working in the optical industry since 2007. After graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in Art History, she was searching for a fulfilling career and began working for Dr. Lynette Kline in her hometown of Fort Bragg, CA.

Here she was able to hone her skills and knowledge as an Optician and eventually became Optical Manager. She also took on the role of IT Coordinator, managing the computer system and navigating software changes needed for the implementation of Meaningful Use. She earned her Advanced ABO in 2015 and is currently working toward the Master Optician certification. Elizabeth still finds optical work to be very rewarding and loves connecting with members of her community.

I have been a dual licensed optician for 17 years and in that time have worked in various aspects of healthcare from low vision to teaching to hospital administrative and billing work. Each career move has prepared me for the next and I am 100% certain the variety of healthcare experiences has truly given me the skills and knowledge needed to continue to grow professionally. In eyecare I have worked in both the private and retail chain sectors and have learned a lot from both. Most recently I have gone back to part time work as a licensed optician in the state of Ohio and have been enjoying my work with doctors and patients while expanding myself professionally into the world of writing.

What I love about my career as an optician is the time and flexibility it has allowed me with my family. Most days I am home with my two boys ages 6 and 4. They are only this young once and I cannot express enough how thankful I am to be able to share in these precious years with them.

Author: Elizabeth Knaus CPOA, ABOC-AC

Elizabeth has been working in the optical industry since 2007. After graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in Art History, she was searching for a fulfilling career and began working for Dr. Lynette Kline in her hometown of Fort Bragg, CA. In this smaller office she got a change to do a little of everything, including pretesting, billing and optical tasks. When relocating to Arcata, CA a year later she decided to continue working in the industry and joined the staff of A to Z Eye Care, a large, multi-doctor practice. Here she was able to hone her skills and knowledge as an Optician and eventually became Optical Manager. She also took on the role of IT Coordinator, managing the computer system and navigating software changes needed for the implementation of Meaningful Use. She earned her Advanced ABO in 2015 and is currently working toward the Master Optician certification. Elizabeth still finds optical work to be very rewarding and loves connecting with members of her community. She is excited about the opportunity to share the knowledge she has gained with other opticians!

Author: Jenell Spino

I have been a dual licensed optician for 17 years and in that time have worked in various aspects of healthcare from low vision to teaching to hospital administrative and billing work. Each career move has prepared me for the next and I am 100% certain the variety of healthcare experiences has truly given me the skills and knowledge needed to continue to grow professionally. In eyecare I have worked in both the private and retail chain sectors and have learned a lot from both. Most recently I have gone back to part time work as a licensed optician in the state of Ohio and have been enjoying my work with doctors and patients while expanding myself professionally into the world of writing.

What I love about my career as an optician is the time and flexibility it has allowed me with my family. Most days I am home with my two boys ages 6 and 4. They are only this young once and I cannot express enough how thankful I am to be able to share in these precious years with them.
