Join the eye care field as an optician
Become a valuable member of the eye health team. Learn in our nationally accredited state-of-the-art facility. Over 95% job placement.
In this program, students experience a unique blend of healthcare and business management. Through theory and practical experience in labs/clinics, students learn to competently dispense eyeglasses, contact lenses, and sub-normal vision devices, and learn about basic refraction. Students gain a strong foundation of ocular sciences in optics and anatomy and are provided the expertise necessary to lay out and edge lenses for frame insertion, as well as repair, customize, and modify eyewear to the patient/client’s needs. Emphasis is also placed on professional services. Through critical thinking, problem-solving, and entrepreneurial skills, students learn how to establish and operate a small business, how to use effective sales techniques, and enhance communication and interpersonal skills to be successful in the optical retail environment.
Upon successful completion of the academic and co-operative education semesters, students are eligible to write the national registration examinations which allow them, if successful, to practice in Canada as a Registered Optician.
You may be invited to complete your co-op experiences in other communities because your skills will be in demand all over Ontario and Canada. Be prepared to travel or relocate for your co-op work terms.
At Georgian, we work with industry and community partners to offer relevant, cutting-edge curriculum, quality work placements, and co-op experiences with top employers. Our students graduate with the skills and the mindset to be innovative thinkers and changemakers who can transform their workplaces and communities.
Our vision is to accelerate success through exceptional teaching and learning, innovation, and partnerships.
