What is a Certified Optician?
A Certified Optician is one who has studied and practiced opticianry and then passed a multi-part examination by the American Board of Opticianry. Our Optical Galleria™ has two certified opticians. There is no requirement in Oklahoma for an optician to be certified and many are not. Our certified opticians are often asked by patients to sort out problems with glasses purchased elsewhere when the seller did not have the training to evaluate the problem. People may have seen the ABC 20/20 program about the problems patients have with glasses purchased from places without a certified optician. Many patients come to our Certified Opticians for special or difficult optical needs. A Certified Optician allows patients to access intelligent use of today’s optical technology.
