We share videos from colleagues who are at different stages of their career, so whether you are an optometrist with 20 years’ experience, a newly qualified or pre-registration Optometrist, or a university student still considering your career pathway, there will be something relevant within Insight.

We publish patient testimonials to let you see the true impact that vision correction treatment can have on our patients’ lives. The most common response we hear from patients is “I wish I’d done it sooner”, and many of our employers tell is this is one of the most rewarding aspects of their role with Optical Express, who wouldn’t want to work in an environment where you are part of changing people’s lives for the better?
