Ophthalmic Dispensing Technician Program Have YOU got what it takes? Are you interested in the science and technology behind modern vision correction? If so, set your sights on the Ophthalmic Dispensing Technician program. This two-year program is designed by industry professionals to provide you with the specialized knowledge and skills required to safely and competently dispense subnormal vision devices and eyeglasses. You will gain knowledge in the basic science of sight and optics as well as develop your practical skills for dispensing spectacles. Due to our aging population, more and more people are developing vision problems that require correction, and more companies are being created to provide that service. As a critical member of an optician's team, you will help dispense prescriptions such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, low-vision aids and ocular prostheses. Once you have successfully completed the program, you will be eligible to present yourself to the Province of Nova Scotia's Board of Dispensing Opticians for examination and licensing.
