Why are ophthalmic technicians a necessity in the vision world? Ophthalmology technologists work with ophthalmologists, who are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnoses and treatment of eye diseases and disorders. Ophthalmology technologists work in a number of capacities, including assisting during eye surgery and setting up and performing maintenance on equipment. In addition, ophthalmology technologists often perform diagnostic testing, such as measuring a patient's vision. Host of The Wizard of Eyes, Dr. Robert Abel, welcomes ophthalmic technician, Sandy Fasano, to share her work experiences and why she enjoys working in the field of ophthalmology.
