Optician Apprentice

Start your career in opticianry at Gazal Eyecare — no experience required. This apprentice role is built for someone starting from zero: you'll train hands-on under our licensed opticians and optometrists, learning the real skills of the trade from day one.

Responsibilities

• Assist patients with frame selection and basic styling guidance
• Take precise facial measurements for lens fitting (PD, segment height, frame measurements)
• Learn to read and interpret eyeglass prescriptions
• Support lens ordering, frame adjustments, and basic repairs
• Get introduced to contact lens fitting and dispensing basics
• Work directly with the equipment and lab processes used in a real optical practice

About the role

Georgia requires 3,000 supervised hours over at least two years to become a licensed Dispensing Optician, plus passing the national ABO/NCLE exams and a practical exam. This role is your structured path through that apprenticeship — real supervised hours, real patient interactions, with a clear track toward licensure and our Licensed Optician position.

Requirements

• A genuine interest in eye care and a willingness to learn
• Prior retail or customer service experience is a plus but not required
• Attention to detail and a polished, patient-first approach (this is a luxury, independent-eyewear environment)

Schedule

Full-time, Tuesday–Saturday.

Pay

Competitive pay with room to grow as you gain skills and hours toward licensure.
