BSc (Hons)
Mr Ben Hunt studied BSc (Honours) Optometry at Plymouth from 2018 – 2021, then went on to work in as an optician before joining Optical Express in 2023.
Ben is trained as a refractive optometrist and surgery support optometrist. He completed his post-graduate diploma in independent prescribing and is also qualified to perform YAG capsulotomy procedures.
Ben joined Optical Express to progress his career and optometry skills. Optical Express offered lots of additional training and qualifications, with more exciting job roles with opportunities for development.
On a day-to-day basis, Ben performs pre-operative consultations and post-operative management for laser eye and lens replacement surgery. Along with this, he completes sight tests, contact lens checks and surgery support on the day of surgery.
He also completes YAG capsulotomy procedures.
Ben’s favourite part about his role is the continuity of care and being able to see the same patients during consultation, follow-up appointments leading to the day of the surgery, surgery support prep on the day of surgery and post-operative management up until discharge. He feels lucky to be able to follow the patient through the whole journey.
