Pennsylvania Opticians Licensure

signature goal: 5,000

Target: Opticians and the Public
Sponsored by: Harry Chilinguerian

Pennsylvania opticians have been in practice without licensure since the inception of opticianry in the state. Opticians are the sole fabricators and dispensers of ophthalmic products such as Contact Lenses, Eyeglasses, and various accesories. These ophthalmic devices require verification, measurements, and maintenance that the average optician of today is ill equiped to provide. The general public in Pennsylvania is being decieved daily when they walk into an establishment that has just confered the title optician to someone who was just transfered from the automotive department, at times with grease still under the fingernails. This uneductaed, uncertified individual is now resposible for the care of a person or families of persons; most important sense, vision. There is a national certification known as the ABO (American Board of Opticianry http://www.abo-ncle.org/), this certification can provide a base line measure for the competency of every optician in the state with very little time and effort. The frame work is in place for a better future, I can SEE it, can YOU. Please sign the petition today and inform at least 10 people about this site and together we can make a difference.
