Optics Technicians

Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

Except for those optics technicians who not only make but also dispense eyeglasses, there are no licensing requirements. However, in a few cases, optics technicians must be certified to manufacture and inspect instruments to be used in a government application or for medical or clinical purposes. In these instances, technicians should discuss any licensing or certification requirements with their employer or supervisor.
