Dr. Mataya Kwan-Anocha also believes that in any business, if it is based on what we like and love, we will do it well. This is the reason why the doctor chose to do a business that she likes and loves, such as an eyeglasses shop.
If we look back to when we were students, when the teacher asked us to name our dream job, we would probably answer doctor, teacher, nurse, or singer. Doctors are a popular job that if one of our friends in the class mentioned it, the rest of us would cheer because we know how difficult the path to our dream job is.
When you come to study, each doctor will be separated according to their interests, whether it is skin, brain, heart or eyes. Dr. Mattaya Kwan-anocha or Doctor Mattaya is one of the doctors who is interested in eyes, especially eye care with glasses, which is a treatment that does not require surgery, pain or bleeding. In addition, the doctor’s interest also led to Mattaya Vision Center – a progressive eyeglass center by ophthalmologists, an eyeglass shop where an eye doctor will take care of you from the first step into the clinic.
The beginning of an eyeglasses shop
The doctor told me that when he decided to study ophthalmology, he was already interested in eye examinations. He felt that blurry vision could be corrected by wearing glasses, which was a convenient and safe way to improve quality of life.
“Eye problems are a major problem for Thai people.”
During his medical studies, he studied many subjects related to the eyes, one of which was about measuring eyesight and correcting blurred vision with glasses. This made him realize that vision problems are a major problem for Thai people. Studying about the eyes is like helping patients have a better quality of life with just one pair of quality glasses.
“If we are based on what we like and love, we will do well.”
When the doctor had to start a business like opening an eyeglasses shop, the doctor said that it was already difficult. But because doing this business is a choice based on what he likes and loves, he doesn’t feel discouraged no matter how tired and hard the work is. The doctor has a clear goal of wanting to have a good eyeglasses shop that can solve problems for customers or patients who come in correctly.
The set goals
The doctor has set a clear goal since the beginning of opening the shop that he will open a progressive vision center by ophthalmologists and a team of optometrists because in reality, there are many styles of glasses divided by use. But the doctor is most interested in progressive lenses, which meet the needs of today’s society where the number of elderly people is increasing continuously. And the elderly often have vision problems at many distances. It is difficult to carry both near and far glasses. Therefore, the glasses that meet the needs the most are progressive glasses.
“There are no obstacles because problems are fun challenges.”
The doctor said that this career path is something he loves, so he doesn’t see the problems that come in as obstacles, but rather sees them as fun challenges to overcome each time. The hundreds of thousands of problems that come in to deal with each day never discourage him. A path that is too smooth will be boring, so some problems make the work more challenging and more fun.
“It’s so special to improve the quality of life for patients with just one pair of glasses.”
Dr. Mataya said that her happiness is seeing her customers smile after receiving their glasses. They can live happily with clear vision. Some customers say that they feel like they are young again. The impression of customers is an important motivation for her to create and develop the glasses shop to provide good service and meet the needs of customers as much as possible.
“The optometrist will take care of customers from the moment they enter the store until they receive their glasses and leave the store.”
In the working style of Mattaya Vision Center, there are no general staff, no sales staff, and it does not focus on selling products but on solving problems. Therefore, the service will have an eye doctor or optometrist to take care of customers from the first step into the shop until they receive their glasses. Because the doctor believes that making glasses requires a true understanding of the customer’s needs, such as what problems the customer has with their eyesight and how to use glasses to solve the problem. Therefore, the listener must have enough knowledge, whether in the process of listening, measuring eyesight, choosing lenses, including choosing the right glasses frame to enhance the efficiency of the lenses.
“Actually, the doctor’s glasses shop is more like a clinic.”
When you step into Mattaya, the first thing you will receive is not choosing a frame, but rather a discussion about which part of your vision you will be taking care of today, what you need, and the person who provides the service is an eye doctor. After the discussion and eye measurement, if progressive lenses are suitable for you, the shop will have several types for you to try on so that you can compare the real thing to see which one is better. Most shops do not have a wide variety of progressive lenses to choose from, but since Mattaya is a progressive lens center, customers can try them on before they are cut. This will ensure that you can use them for real.
“The team is knowledgeable and skilled with high-precision tools.”
Dr. Mataya explained that being a progressive lens center is not just about having a lot of lenses to try, but the team must have enough knowledge and skills to understand the needs of the customers and have high-precision equipment at the same level as an eye hospital. The equipment itself also affects the accuracy of vision measurement. Furthermore, progressive glasses are considered very complex glasses. If the person measuring is not skilled enough and the equipment is not accurate enough, the results may not be good enough to completely solve the customers’ problems.
“The person who will determine whether or not a customer will get good glasses is the doctor who measures the customer’s eyesight.”
Dr. Mataya said that the shop places great importance on selecting personnel to work. Every optometrist selected will be someone who has experience with progressive lenses. There is constant training and development to ensure that every optometrist has the knowledge and skills to keep up with new technologies and innovations and can solve a variety of problems for customers. Because in the end, what customers want is eyeglasses that are comfortable to wear, and the person who will create eyeglasses for customers to get good glasses or not is the doctor who measures their eyesight. Therefore, Dr. Mataya places great importance on personnel.
Why choose Essilor?
The doctor explained that Essilor is actually one of the world’s leading companies. All of Essilor’s products are of high quality and are guaranteed to meet world-class standards. Therefore, Mattaya Vision Center, a progressive eyeglasses center, also trusts in choosing products from Essilor.
