Ophthalmic Dispensing Optician

The dispensing optician fills prescriptions from the ophthalmic medical practitioner or optometrist, and fits lenses into spectacle frames to suit the patients needs and taste. They use a combination of specialised knowledge of lens properties and a sense of aesthetics to offer efficient and attractive solutions, present various options to clients and explain treatment goals. Some dispensing opticians specialise in fitting contact lenses or working with patients with particular vision disturbances. The dispensing optician can recognise common ocular disorders and refer patients to specialists. Most opticians work in private practice or in partnerships with an optometrist, although some work in designing spectacles and lenses.
