Since January 1, 2017, five offenders have completed the Optics program at Hays State Prison (SP) and received both a Precision Lens Generator certificate and a Lens Mounter certificate. “The optics program at Hays State Prison does not only provide certification and hands-on experience in a high-demand trade, but it also allows the offenders to give back, by providing glasses to Georgia Medicaid recipients and partner Corrections agencies,” said Commissioner Gregory C. Dozier, “We are proud of these men who worked hard to become certified in this field.” The Hays SP Optical Plant averages 42 offenders working daily to meet the needs of eyeglasses requests for Georgia Medicaid recipients and Correctional Facilities throughout the United States. The Optical Plant’s On-the-Job training (OJT) program partnered with Piedmont Technical College to provide Optics certification for the offenders. The Precision Lens Generator certificate requires 1,200 instructional hours. To obtain this certification, offenders learn the process of grinding (or surfacing) the prescription in the ophthalmic lens. The offenders receive hands-on training in the generation of a work ticket, preparation for additional lens processing, and operation of the lens generator. They also learn the proper procedure for selecting the correct lap tool for fining and polishing the lenses, as well as the surfacing procedure, cleaning and coating the lenses. Read More. |
