Students Add Status to MVC!

Moreover, students are supported by Registered Opticians who will help streamline recommendations for lenses, double-check measurements and data entry, troubleshoot, and resolve issues.

Everyone here at MVC participates in regular continuing education. We learn about all sorts of things eye-related when we attend professional learning conferences, participate in webinars, and hold frequent staff training sessions. Registered Opticians are required to maintain a professional portfolio that is updated yearly, so you know when you’re seeing one of our Registered Opticians, they’re up to date on what’s what. Same goes for our amazing team of Optometrists. Our team of optometrists travel all over the globe to further their education on an annual basis.

We believe that staff education and student mentorship is an investment in our future as a business, but where that investment really pays off is in the patient experience. We hope that each patient that comes to see us for their eye care needs becomes part of the MVC family and stays with us for the long haul; that you and your family grow with us. As our students turn into those seasoned pros and start mentoring their own, we can make sure that the experience you have with us in the future is just as good, or even better, than it is today.
