What is an optical edger?

Optical Edgers are specialized technicians who operate machines designed to cut, shape, and finish eyeglass lenses to fit into frames. They interpret prescriptions provided by optometrists or ophthalmologists and use precise measurements to ensure lenses are crafted accurately. The role requires attention to detail, knowledge of lens materials, and proficiency in using edging equipment, both manual and automatic. Optical Edgers play a crucial part in ensuring customers receive well-fitted, high-quality eyeglasses.
