Job Outlook for 眼镜商s

Due to an aging population and emerging technologies in vision correction and options in eyewear, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects robust opportunities 对眼镜商来说. It expects job growth 对眼镜商来说 to expand by 7% between now and 2028, faster than average growth for all jobs.

眼镜商s earned $37,840 on average for 2019, according to BLS data. PayScale.com notes that top opticians earn over $52,000 in pay and associated bonuses.

眼镜商s overwhelmingly enjoy their work. Among 10,000 employees in more than 200 jobs surveyed by 业务 Insider, only opticians scored a 100% job satisfaction rate. The survey results noted that opticians incur less stress and enjoy the results of their work more than other professions.

 

眼镜商常见问题

眼镜商s use data from prescriptions made by Optometrists or Ophthalmologists to help patients and customers fit glasses or contact lenses. They may take measurements of the ocular area, recommend appropriate frames or contact lenses and help fit and adjust frames or lenses as needed.

Many US states require certification 对眼镜商来说. In those that do not, many clinics, eye health facilities and professionals require certification as a condition of optician 就业. ABO certification generally meets both requirements. However, we do recommend researching the state requirements prior to pursuing a career as an optician.

The ABO exam covers ophthalmic science and a combination of ocular anatomy, principles of ophthalmic products and instruments, dispensing procedures and legal considerations 对眼镜商来说.

眼镜商s need to be able to read and fill prescriptions, calculate formulas, use ophthalmic equipment, keep up with eyewear styles and trends, relate to patients, and understand human eyes and the difficulties and diseases they encounter.
