Optician

A profession that specializes in dispensing (fitting, recommending) glasses. They are not “Eye Doctors” and generally have a 2-year degree. They are not trained in CVD, but may be specifically trained in trialing Color Correction Lenses. A minority of Opticians may also be trained to implement a Colorblindness Screening Test such as the Ishihara Plates.
