Optician

An optician fits and dispenses eyeglasses and contact lenses based on prescriptions from optometrists and ophthalmologists. They help customers choose frames, take the measurements needed for accurate lenses, order and verify the finished eyewear, adjust the fit, and troubleshoot comfort and vision problems once glasses are in use.

The role blends technical precision with customer service and a sense of style, sitting at the retail end of eye care. Opticians work in optical shops, practices, and retail chains, and the job suits personable, detail-oriented people who enjoy hands-on work and helping customers find eyewear that fits both their vision and their face.
