Optician Jobs in Spring Hill, TN

An Optician plays a crucial role in the optometry field, assisting patients with their vision needs, primarily by fitting and selling eyeglasses and contact lenses. They work closely with Optometrists and Ophthalmologists, interpreting their prescriptions to help individuals select the most suitable eyewear, taking into account factors like their lifestyle, face shape, and personal style. Opticians also perform adjustments, repairs, and replacements, ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of the patients.

Opticians typically require special certifications and skills. They are expected to have an Opticianry certification or an Associate degree in Opticianry, from a recognized institution. Importantly, they should have strong customer service and sales skills, enabling them to advise patients effectively and increase sales. Prior to becoming an Optician, individuals might have roles as an Optometric Assistant, Optical Sales Associate, or Optical Lab Technician, providing them with industry experience and a foundation of knowledge in vision care.
