Opticians

Opticians are trained in filling prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses. They may have received some classroom instruction, but most receive on-the-job training. Depending on a particular state’s regulations, opticians may or may not be licensed.
 
Opticians help in determining the best eyeglass frames and/or contact lenses to suit your needs. In addition, they ensure that eyeglass frames are adequately adjusted, and, if necessary, they can also repair broken eyeglass frames. In some cases, opticians may be allowed to fit contact lenses.
