I have an interview next week for a ophthalmology tech job. Should I wear a suit?

[Ollivander]

So I just found out today after months of applying that I have an interview next week for an ophthalmology technician job. My first instinct is to wear a suit to any job interview, but I've been told by a few family members that it would be overdressing for the job I'm applying for, and to just wear a shirt, tie, and dress pants. I'd like to get some feedback from this forum though.

Better to be over dressed than underdressed.  That said, a shirt/tie/dress pants is likely plenty appropriate.

I might just roll with that. I'm getting so much feedback that a suit is overkill.

I think a suit is overkill. Just wear a tie and make sure everything is neat and pressed.
