Optician

An optician is a professional who makes and adjusts optical aids, including telescope optics and microscope lenses. Most often, however, this term is used to refer to the profession of providing eyeglass lenses from refraction prescriptions supplied by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. http://www.eyeglossary.net/

Education

Some opticians learn their skills through formal training programs. Professional technical schools and two-year colleges offer programs in opticianry. Two-year programs usually grant an associate's degree. One-year programs offer a certificate. Training usually includes courses in optical math, optical physics, and tools and equipment use. http://www.iseek.org/sv/13000.jsp?id=100143
