Hi hope you can help a confused Brit.
I would like to know how your categories of optical personnel differ to ours in description.
We have Glazers / lab techs who make and assemble the spectacles/ some surface lens others just cut edge and fit lenses.
Dispensing assistants. Unqualified, but able to dispense spectacles to all except under 16 yr old children.
Dispensing optician. Qualified. Dispense all.
Contact lens fitter. Fits contact lenses, but does not test the eyes. Needs to be qualified dispensing optician.
Optician/Optometrist. gives full eye examinations.
Sorry if it seems a daft question, but i'm hoping to relocate to the Houston area in the next year or so and want to ensure I apply for the correct position if I can't open my own business.
I currently own and run my own rimless glazing company and will be seeking to do similar in the US if there would be a demand for such a service. If not and if anybody could use a experienced glazer (20 yrs) please feel free to e:mail me.
Thanks in advance for any replys
