Technicians set lens grinding machine so that lens blanks are ground and polished. They then fit the polished lenses into eye glasses frames and, depending upon where they work, fit the frames to the patients, some ophthalmic technician work in optical laboratories or for optometrists or ophthalmologists. Many work in retail stores that have optical departments.

a high diploma or GED certificate is needed to begin optical laboratory training. Training programs last between six months and one year and are provided by vocational schools and community colleges. Some retail store optical departments provide on-the-job training.

Reflection : 
In my opinion i wouldn't like to do this as a career , it is not the field that im not interested .
