Vision Care Technology/Opticianry - Associate Of Science

at Broward College

The Associate Degree Programs in Vision Care Technology provides the student with the opportunity to develop competency in skills relative to patient eye care. An Optician plays a vital role in the fitting and adapting of corrective lenses and other optical devices to aid vision and correct ocular deficiencies. To accomplish this, the Optician must use scientific and clinical procedures and apply learned skills to correctly produce and fit quality eyewear and contact lenses. The curriculum has been designed to train the student in the laboratory techniques of measuring, grinding, fitting, and adapting to eyewear, and preliminary examination pre-testing evaluation.
