Optician

A customer complains about headaches and blurry vision. You take him to the measurement room, perform an eye exam, and discover that he needs a new prescription. You calmly explain what has changed and recommend lenses with Eyezen technology for extra screen comfort. You then help him choose a new Oakley frame. A week later he returns to pick up his glasses and says: “Wow, I can see clearly again!”

As an optician, you are the specialist in eye measurements and lens advice. You work with the latest measuring equipment, continue expanding your knowledge, and help customers find the best vision solution.

During your workday, you will be:
✔️ Performing eye exams and determining the correct prescription;
✔️ Advising customers on lenses such as Transitions and on frame fitting;
✔️ Working with the latest optical technologies, such as the Eye-Ruler 2 with iPad;
✔️ Collaborating with and guiding sales colleagues and opticians in training.

Enroll in our company class at the Dutch Health Tech Academy and earn your contact lens specialist diploma in just 2 years.
