Pech Optical realizes the importance of education and communication. Our lab is one of the very few to host an Education Department. We have educators that work internally, to keep employees informed on the latest technology and products, as well as externally, to provide in-office trainings and regional seminars to eyecare professionals. Our newest educational endeavor is providing online seminars - webinars. This allows us to reach a higher number of offices in a more timely fashion with product information, as well as staff training and practice management. |
