Duties and Responsibilities: Opticians are eye care professionals who select and fit contacts and eyeglasses for patients. After an ophthalmologist writes a prescription, dispensing opticians take eye measurements and determine how a patient's occupation, lifestyle and facial features affect his or her eyewear needs. On-the-job training or an apprenticeship can provide the training needed to begin working in this profession; however, some aspiring opticians choose to pursue certificates or degrees in the field. Licensure is required in some states, and employers may prefer to hire those who are certified.
