The Optometric Technology program prepares students to work closely with optometrists as part of the eye care team, as opticians. In Bloomington and the surrounding area, workforce demand is greater than the supply of professional opticians.
Students can earn a technical certificate after 33 credit hours, making them eligible to start careers as opticians after completing the National Opticianry Competency Examination and the Contact Lens Registry Examination.
