During the last 20 years of my optometry career, I also did optical maintenance of equipment for over 100 eye exam rooms, annually. I made assorted videos about the repairs & maintenance, and posted those videos on-line. I hope to inform other “do-it-yourself” optometrists who want to know how their equipment works — and how to repair their equipment, when possible. I posted the videos initially on “Vimeo” — and they are now also posted on YouTube. On Vimeo, my actual name is listed. For my YouTube videos, I use a pseudonym — “Energy Conservation in Housing” — which is the name of a book I wrote in my youth. https://groups.google.com/g/energy-conservation-in-housing .
