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. Opticians work in various settings including doctor’s offices, retail locations, and independent shops. 

Applicants must also pass a background check.
