duties And Responbites:An optician, or dispensing optician, is a technical practitioner who designs, fits and dispenses corrective lenses for the correction of a person's vision. Opticians determine the specifications of various ophthalmic appliances that will give the necessary correction to a person's eyesight. Some registered or licensed opticians also design and fit special appliances to correct cosmetic, traumatic or anatomical defects. These devices are called shells or artificial eyes. Other registered or licensed opticians manufacture lenses to their own specifications and design and manufacture spectacle frames and other devices.[1][2]
Salary:The BLS reports that opticians earned a median salary of $33,770 in 2013. The best-paid earned $54,490 while the lowest-paid earned$21,290.
Education:Opticians are eye care professionals who select and fit contacts and eyeglasses for patients. After an ophthalmologist writes a prescription, dispensing opticians take eye measurements and determine how a patient's occupation, lifestyle and facial features affect his or her eyewear needs. On-the-job training or an apprenticeship can provide the training needed to begin working in this profession; however, some aspiring opticians choose to pursue certificates or degrees in the field. Licensure is required in some states, and employers may prefer to hire those who are certified.
