Our sight is something that we sometimes take for granted, but as an
Ophthalmic Laboratory Technician, you could be responsible for
emphasizing the importance of healthy eyes to your patients. Students
will learn about common eye disorders, testing for visual acuity, depth
perception, color blindness, proper use of optical instruments,
prescription analysis, and fitting technologies.
