Opticians specialize in the fitting and fabrication of ophthalmic lenses, spectacles,
contact lenses,
low vision aids and ocular prosthetics. They may also be
referred to as an “optical dispenser”,
“dispensing optician”,
“ophthalmic dispenser”.
The prescription for the corrective
lenses must be
supplied by an
ophthalmologist, optometrist
or
in some countries an orthoptist.
This is a regulated profession
in most jurisdictions.
