Hello! I have been chronically ill for the past 11+ years, recently it has progressed and I’m more disabled than before. I use a walker and a cane (Doing everything I can with PT to avoid a wheelchair).

My previous job has offered to give me some re-education credits to go back to school. So, I was looking into the Optician field.

So, I just want to know the reality of how it’s like working as an optician. Is it a physically demanding job? Is it a lot of standing? Is there mandatory overtime? Are employers okay with hiring disabled individuals willing to work? Etc.

Thank you so much for your help!
