  • John Anthony Marsh Duluth GA is Consultants
    Manager of Optical Department. Opticians are eye
    wear professionals who work in national retail
    chains, optometry offices, and ophthalmology
    clinics. Their primary job is to help customers
    find the perfect pair of prescription eyeglasses
    and make sure they fit comfortably. In order to
    perform the job of an optician well, one must
    obtain specific knowledge and skills. Since there
    are only approximately 23 states that currently
    require opticians to be licensed, the path to
    acquiring those skills can vary quite a bit. John

  •  
  • In states that require an optician to be
    licensed, it is fairly common for individuals to
    complete either a two-year degree program or an
    apprenticeship. Since there are relatively few
    opticianry degree programs available, many
    opticians choose to go the route of an
    apprenticeship. An apprenticeship basically
    consists of supervised training for a specified
    period of time. Once the apprentice has fulfilled
    the required hours, they typically complete a
    state licensing exam.
  • States vary in terms of the licensing exam that
    they require opticians to successfully pass. Some
    states have their own exam while others simply
    require that opticians take the American Board of
    Opticianry (ABO) Exam and the National Contact
    Lens Examiners (NCLE) Exam. The ABO and NCLE
    exams are nationally recognized as the standard
    form of optician competence assessment and they
    can provide some very positive benefits to
    opticians who have passed them.

  • In states that have no optician licensing
    requirements it is generally left to employers to
    decide whether or not they will require opticians
    to take the ABO and NCLE exams. In these states,
    some employers will expect opticians to take the
    exams while others will not. Regardless of
    employer expectations it is a good idea for
    opticians to voluntarily complete the exams.
  • The first benefit that ABO and NCLE credentialing
    brings is an increase in optician salary. Most
    employers, regardless of state requirements,
    prefer to hire credentialed opticians. The
    ability to communicate to customers that a
    business hires only competent opticians is much
    simpler if those opticians have been certified.
    This establishes rapport with customers and puts
    them at ease knowing that they are being assisted
    by competent professionals.
  • Another benefit that ABO and NCLE certification
    offers is the ability to transfer credentials
    among states. This dramatically increases the
    number of potential job opportunities available
    to an optician. Since some states require
    opticians to be certified, it makes things a lot
    easier to already have those credentials prior to
    moving to a regulated state. Otherwise, an
    optician may be forced to go back to school for
    two years or complete a long apprenticeship.
  • One final benefit of being a certified optician
    is the fact that the optician knows that they
    have met national standards for optician
    competence. Opticians who work in unregulated
    states are commonly trained to only understand
    what they need to know in order to complete the
    tasks that a specific employer has deemed
    important. The ability to pass the ABO and NCLE
    exams requires a comprehensive understanding of
    opticianry and is a sign that an optician truly
    understands the industry well. John Anthony Marsh
