An optician is a professional who helps fit and dispense eyeglasses and contact lenses to customers, based on prescriptions written by optometrists or ophthalmologists. They may also assist customers in choosing frames and lens options and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit. Opticians may also be responsible for maintaining inventory and ordering supplies. In some cases, they may also perform basic vision tests and assist in the management and training of contact lens patients.
Since 1944, this practice has continuously provided comprehensive vision care services to not only residents of San Diego County but to individuals seeking our care from around the United States and the world. It started with Dr. Amorita Treganza in Lemon Grove. Since then, Dr. Robert Sanet, Drs. Carl and Melissa Hillier have carried on this tradition of helping people overcome visual problems that glasses, contacts and surgery alone can not resolve.
