Hello James and Larry,
Correct. An optician can only fill a prescription written by an
ophthalmologist or an optometrist.
In the UK, Opticians businesses typically have on Optometrist on the
premises. Consequently, the term Optician is often used to include
Optometrists. A distinction is rarely made by the general public.
In my experience:
store | optometrist | optician
------------+-------------+----------
Walmart | ? | yes
former dr | yes | no
current dr | yes | yes
glasses src | yes | yes
So here, it's hit and miss. I agree about the name confusion.
