Optical Lab Technician Jobs
An Optical Lab Technician plays a crucial role in the optometry industry by fabricating, repairing, and maintaining optical products such as glasses and contact lenses. They operate and calibrate specialized lab equipment to cut, polish, and grind lenses according to the optical prescription. In addition to this, they also assemble frames and lenses, adjust eyewear to fit patients correctly, and perform quality control checks to ensure the accuracy of the finished product. Furthermore, they may assist customers in selecting eyewear and provide basic customer service.
Important skills for an Optical Lab Technician include attention to detail, good manual dexterity, and strong technical skills to operate lab equipment. They should also have excellent customer service and communication skills. While some roles may provide on-the-job training, a high school diploma or equivalent is often required. Further certification, such as the American Board of Opticianry (ABO) certification, is highly regarded in the industry. Prior to becoming an Optical Lab Technician, one might work as an Optical Assistant, Eyewear Consultant, or an Optometric Technician to acquire relevant experience and knowledge in the field.
