Optician
Duties and Responsibilities:
When given a prescription by ophthalmologists or optometrists, opticians fit
patients for their eyeglasses. This includes measuring several places around
the patient’s eyes. They also have to make sure that the once finished, the
lenses are perfectly made. Opticians keep records of customer prescriptions,
work, orders, and payments. Opticians work in their own retail store or an
optical store. Some may work for optometrists and ophthalmologist who sell
glasses.
Average Salary:
$19,000-$40,000
Educational Requirements:
Students should take high school courses in physics, algebra, mechanical
drawing, and geometry. A high school diploma or GED certificate
is needed to begin training as an optician. There are two types of
training programs. Students can either complete an approved two-year
course at a school of optician, or they can complete an approved three year
on-the-job apprenticeship.
Reflection: I would not like to be an Optician because I don't like the career.
