They interpret written "prescriptions from ophthalmologists and optometrists to determine the specifications of ophthalmic appliances necessary to correct a person's eyesight.

Registered opticians recommend eyeglass frames, lenses, and lens coatings after considering the power of the lenses and the customer's occupation, habits, and facial. features. Registered opticians measure clients’ eyes, including the distance between the centers of the pupils and the distance between the surface and the lens. Some clients want to replace existing eyewear without seeking a new prescription from an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Registered opticians will then use a lensometer to record existing eyeglass measurements fo create a new pair of eyeglasses with the same lens power: They also may obtain a customer's previous record or verify the power of the lenses with the examining optometrist or ophthalmologist. . -Children’s Packages _ ~2nd pair Discounts Available . +Registered Opticians - -Large Selection of Frames » —Sunglasses, Clip-ons & Accessories — —Senior & Student Discounts 4611 Lakelse Avenue, Terrace -— 638-0341 ° 1-800-867-6322 Fax: 638-1583 ae Monvufacturing © me, Registered opticians prepare work orders. that give ophthalmic :laborator technicians’ information needed to grind and insert lenses into a frame.

They instruct clients about adapting to, wearing, or caring for eyeglasses. \ Contact Lenses, Cosmetic Shells, and Artificial Eyes _ Some registered opticians specialize in fitting contacts, artificial eyes, or cosmetic ~~ shells to cover blemished eyes. To design and fit these devices, registered opticians mecsure the shape and size of the eye, select the type of contact lens material, and prepare work orders specifying the power of the lenses and lens size. In some cases, registered opticians prepare moulds‘of an eye, which is used in the manufacture of some of these specialized devices. This work requires considerable skill, care, and patience. Registered opticians observe clients’ eyes, corneas, lids, and contact lenses with special instruments and microscopes. During several visits, registered opticians show clients how to inserl, remove, and care for their contacts, their cosmetic shells or their artificial eyes.
