Optician

and Responsibilities:
Opticians fit
eyeglasses for the patients based on the prescriptions written by the
optometrists. They help the patient’s select eyeglass frames, and measure their
faces so its correct frame could be ordered. They also measure the corneas so
that the correct lenses could fit the frame. Some specialize in contacts others
in artificial eyes. They could own their own store or work for an optical
store.
Salary:
$19,000-$40,000
Education:
Students who
want to become an optician should take physics, algebra, mechanical drawing,
and geometry in high school. To begin training students should have a GED
certificate or a high school diploma. Student could either complete a two-year
course at a school of optician, or a three year on-the-job apprenticeship.
Reflection:
Do you think
you would like to be one?
Why? Why not?
I would like
to be an optician because I would like what I do. Also because I would not have
to go to school for a long time.
