An optician is a healthcare professional who specializes in assessing vision, prescribing corrective lenses, and helping with the management of eye health. While not considered a traditional medical doctor, opticians play a crucial role in the broader field of eye care and are often part of a team with optometrists and ophthalmologists.

Opticians are licensed professionals focused on ensuring the proper fit and function of eyewear, which significantly impacts a person’s overall visual comfort and eye health.
