View submission: Are opticians just glorified salesman's now?
A (Dispensing) Optician is a protected job title for someone who has gone through three years of training and has a degree or a diploma. They are registered professionals, who pay annual fees and have indemnity insurance. Only these staff members can use the optician title. Their role includes dispensing and fitting glasses for compex prescriptions, paediatric glasses, low vision aids, and to supervise other dispenses happening in practice. The staff members you're thinking of are optical consultants or assistants, which is still not your average retail job.
There's nothing here!
