If you need glasses or contact lenses, an optician is the eye care practitioner who will supply them to you. Some opticians learn their skills through formal training programs. Professional technical schools and two-year colleges offer programs in optometry. Two-year programs usually grant an associate's degree. One-year programs offer a certificate. Training usually includes courses in optical math, optical physics, and tools and equipment use. Many eye doctor offices do their own dispensing of eyewear, and it is frequent for eye clinics to have an optician on their premises; or, conversely, for large optical chains to have optometrists in offices on their premises.
