Career Profile for Optician
Opticians provide optical aid to correct and oversee any vision related problems. An optician provides guidance in various types of lenses and eye glasses that suit the patients. He also provides tips on proper eye care to the patients. They usually have to work with the ophthalmologist or optometrists in their dispensaries or they can even work independently. An optician requires license to work as a dispensing optician. Passing the certification examinations offered by National Contact Lens Examiners (NCLE) or American Board of Optician (ABO) one can work as certified and authorized optician.

However, in some countries certification is not mandatory for the opticians; freshers are hired and they are given on-job training by the ophthalmologists or optometrists.

Subject: Application for the position of optician
Dear Mr. Mickey Ewing,
With reference to my friend Travis Sears who was working as an optician in your hospital, I am sending my resume along with this letter for the position of optician in your hospital. I would like to work as a replacement in the position of Travis who resigned last month and I came to know from him that his position in your hospital is still not occupied. If this is the case and you have not recruited anyone in this position then I feel that I would be the most eligible candidate to work in this position.
I have been working as an independent optician for 1.5 years. I am an expert at providing necessary help and assistance to the patients regarding lenses and eye glasses to be used. I can also take necessary measurements required to prepare customized lenses and eye glasses and ensure their delivery. I can perform any amendments required in the issued optical aid devices to the patients. If necessary, I can also perform eye checkup of the patients and give them necessary suggestions in the absence of doctor, on temporary basis.
Looking forward to have a personal discussion with you regarding this position so that we can discuss the details. I have enclosed my resume and scanned copies of certificates for your reference. For any further details, please call me or mail me.
Yours sincerely,
Bennett Ross
