Refraction information

What is the difference between Refraction vs Optician?

AspectRefractionOptician
Primary RolePerforming eye exams to determine prescriptionsFitting and dispensing eyewear based on prescriptions

Work EnvironmentEye clinics, private practices, healthcare settingsOptical stores, eyewear retail outlets

Refraction involves conducting eye exams to determine prescriptions for corrective lenses, typically performed by optometrists. Opticians focus on fitting and dispensing eyewear based on those prescriptions. While both roles are essential in eye care, refraction is more clinical, whereas opticians work in retail settings to provide eyewear solutions.
