Optician
An optician,
or dispensing optician, is
a technical practitioner who designs, fits and dispenses corrective lenses for
the correction of a person's vision. Opticians determine the specifications of
various ophthalmic appliances that will give the necessary correction to a
person's eyesight. Some registered or licensed opticians also design and fit
special appliances to correct cosmetic, traumatic or anatomical defects. These
devices are called shells or artificial
eyes.

school in one course. This system is practiced in several countries,
notably Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Switzerland, but also Portugal, Denmark, the Netherlands, France and Egypt, and for some years now in China and other countries in Asia.
Salary: $34,000 - $60,777
Education: High school
diploma or equivalent at minimum; employers may prefer those with certificates
or associate's degrees, license is require in some states
Reflection: I
would like to be one because the salary is not that bad, but at the same time I
wouldn’t because it’s about the eyes and the eyes are very delicate and if I do
something wrong…
