Mohd Rafiz Zainal has two decades of experience as an optician and has worked with major brands involved in the profession. Still, it was tough when he finally ventured out on his own as he could not get a loan for the expensive equipment he needed. Today, though, he runs a successful optician shop, right from his living room.
Rafiz uses a lensometer to verify the prescription for the glasses he makes. Much of an optician's job is now computerised, but this part requires knowledge and experience.
