Who is Testing you?
Optical Assistants
Before you see the Optician, trained members of the team will pre-screen you. They do not analyse your tests, they are there to get the clearest results possible and answer any questions you may have about the screening process. Please tell them at once if you need assistance or clarification about the tests. These team members are called optical assistants, and they are fully trained for this equipment, and to look after you before your test. They'll even make you a drink if you have time! Your optical assistant passes the results to your Optician in preparation for your consultation.
