Optician

Duties and responsibilities:

   

  Opticians work on the front lines of vision care. They are one of the most important members of the eye care team because of their direct interaction with customers. Customer loyalty is often won or lost based on how well the frame selection and eye wear fitting process goes. All optical employers should consider including a requirement for sociable personality traits in the optician job description. Character qualities that customers and coworkers enjoy being around are absolutely essential to a successful career as an optician.

Education:

  While there are no specific educational requirements for an optician, a 2-year associate degree or 4-year bachelor degree in optcianry may offer a competitive advantage. Optcianry courses educate students in the anatomy and physiology of the human eye, optical fundamentals and refraction. Through clinical training, students also have opportunities to learn about polishing, hand beveling, heat treatment, tinting and fitting glasses.

Reflection:

 Well I wouldn’t want to be an optician because its working with the eyes and I wouldn’t want to mess up and do something wrong I know you have to study for that not to happen but still I wouldn’t want to be one.
