I have been an optician for a retail optical place, and I ventured in to the medical side, and worked as an ophthalmic tech and assisted with cataract surgeries. I live in Missouri, and there was formal training involved, but it was all on-the-job training. I wasn't aware of school / colleges that offered it at the time. It was about 10 years ago! LOL! But it was a GREAT job, and it was peaceful and fun. I just didn't make that much money... so... I kept going to school and earned a BA and went a completely different way.
