Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.

Licensed Optician Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed optician in Florida?
Florida requires opticians to hold an active license issued by the Florida Board of Opticianry, which is part of the Florida Department of Health. Candidates must complete a state-approved apprenticeship or an accredited opticianry program, then pass the American Board of Opticianry and National Contact Lens Examiners examinations. After passing both exams, applicants submit their credentials to the Florida Board of Opticianry to obtain their state license before practicing.
How much do licensed opticians make in Florida?
Licensed opticians in Florida earn a median of about $58,850 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $36,510 for the lowest 10% to over $75,480 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed opticians in Florida?
Employers hiring licensed opticians in Florida right now include LensCrafters, Warby Parker, and America's Best, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large retiree population and growing suburban communities keep demand steady across both optical retail chains and independent ophthalmology practices throughout the state.
Which Florida cities have the most licensed optician jobs?
Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville have the most licensed optician openings in Florida right now. Miami's dense population and large number of ophthalmology groups and optical retail locations drive the highest volume, while Tampa and Orlando generate strong demand through their fast-growing suburban corridors and health system-affiliated optical departments that employ licensed opticians alongside ophthalmologists.
Are there remote licensed optician jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. About 8% of licensed optician openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, since most of the role centers on hands-on patient care, optical measurements, and frame dispensing that require an in-person setting. The portions of the work most likely to shift remote include administrative follow-up, insurance pre-authorization, and optical consultations conducted via telehealth platforms.
How can I get hired as a licensed optician in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a Florida Board of Opticianry-approved apprenticeship, which allows candidates to work and train under a licensed optician before sitting for the national exams. Large Florida optical retailers and health system optical departments regularly bring on optical assistants and lab technicians as bridge roles, and those positions build the hands-on dispensing exposure employers expect. Earning your American Board of Opticianry apprenticeship certification early strengthens any application before full licensure.
Where can I find and apply to licensed optician jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to licensed optician jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to each employer through the listing.
