What are the different types of opticians?
Optician. Today, the word ‘optician’ has come to be a bit of an umbrella term – meaning that most of us associate it with all manner of eye-care specialists. The three kinds of specialist you are most likely to come into contact with are: optometrists, ophthalmic medical practitioners, and dispensing opticians.
