Optician 配镜师
When considering the types of professional careers to pursue in healthcare, the first ones that come to our minds are doctors, pharmacists, dentists and nurses. One of the professions we often overlook is the Optician, the person whomwe usually mistaken for as the salesman at the optical outlet.

Using prescriptions written by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist, an optician would dispense and fit the corrective lenses that would solve your eyesight problems.
