    A small clarification. In some parts of Europe, and maybe Asia Opticians are what optometrist are in the U.S. (Formerly opticians who formed a sub-group who eventually became engineers to examine the eye for spectacles, now trying to elevate position to something similar to that of dentists for the eye. Dispensing Opticians are those who measure and dispense eye glasses to the public, they do not do actual eye exams, or refractions.

    Just so you need to clarify if you want to me practicing optometry or opticianry. Although of late the lines are becoming increasingly blurred between them.
