Optical sales assistant
Description
Optical assistants are responsible for selling and offering specialised technical advice about optical products. They normally sell products such as frames, lenses, contact lenses, sunglasses, accessories, eye protection products and, occasionally, also sell optical tools and products related to hearing. Optical assistants look after the visual health of their customers and those who hold a degree in Optometry perform visual therapy tasks, such as check-ups and prescriptions. It is becoming increasingly common for them to also offer aesthetic advice. These professionals normally report to the shop manager.
