What Does An Ophthalmic Dispensing Optician Do?
An ophthalmic dispensing optician helps patients select and fit eyeglasses. Dispensing opticians use prescriptions written by an ophthalmologist or optometrist when completing this work. An ophthalmic dispensing optician works closely with the patient to help select the eyeglass frames, lenses and lens coatings that will work best with the patient’s lifestyle.
