What do these kinds of technicians do?

Before a person goes to the eye doctor, an initial examination must be completed and these are done by the ophthalmic medical technicians. The initial examination involves getting all the patient’s information, checking visual acuity, testing confrontational visual fields, and assessing their pupils and ocular muscles. So basically, doing all the initial examinations until the doctor performs further assessments. This sounds like something you’ll need a degree for, but in reality, you will be trained by the ophthalmologist on the job.
