Opticianry
As an essential part of the “eye care delivery system,” opticians’ measure, fit and adapt eyeglasses and contact lenses to people with vision problems. Coursework covers basic ocular science including: optics, anatomy, contact lenses, and refractometry. It also allows the students to gain specific skills in professional management, eyewear fabrications, and dispensing. Clinical experience is gained in a state-of-the-art on-campus dispensary and at affiliate sites. Graduates of the program are eligible to take state and national certification and/or licensure exams for opticians. Campus based or Internet based programs available. The Opticianry Program is accredited by the Commission on Optic
