Optician

Duties and Responsibilities: An optician is a technical practitioner who designs, fits, and dispenses corrective lenses to correct people’s vision. Opticians determine the specifications of contact lenses, spectacles lenses, low vision aids or ophthalmic prosthetics that will give the necessary correction to some one’s eyesight.

Salary: The hourly pay of an optician can be from $10.10 up to $20.80. The annual salary is $21,725 - $48,843

Education: The education requirement for an optician is only up to a High School diploma. It would be more recommended to have opticianry certificates or associate’s degrees.

Reflection: I would not want to be an optician because it doesn’t seem like a very interesting job. Checking people’s eyes and seeing they need an ophthalmic appliance doesn’t seem at all exciting.
