optician:
(plural: ‘opticians‘; pronunciation: the letter ‘c’ is said with an ‘sh’ sound as in “shun” — for the right pronunciation of this word, please click here)
an optician (employee) helping a patient choose a pair of glasses
a medical person who is qualified to make and/or sell lens/eye-glasses according to the prescription of an ophthalmologist, but not qualified to examine or treat the diseases of the eye;
a worker who fits lens/eye-glass into frames to suit people’s faces,
an optician (L) testing a patient’s vision
I got my eye-glasses mended by an optician who charged very little money.
An optician’s near an eye hospital makes a good business as the patients from that eye hospital buy their eye- or reading-glasses from the nearest optician.
Like many other medical professionals, opticians also experience a lot of pressure in our job as several dissatisfied patients sue them for their negligence in line of duty or over-charging for very minor complaints regarding their sets of eye-glasses, especially their contact lenses.
