I hope that it will have its effect on prices and that it will be good for the whole opticians' trade.
The position of someone buying glasses from an unregistered supplier will be similar to that of someone who patronises an optician as a private customer.
I have before me two pages of qualifications which are required to register as an optician.
I should like to pay tribute to the work that the opticians do in the school medical service.
It is important to ensure that we consult, as appropriate, dentists, opticians and pharmacists.
Information about eye tests by opticians is not available in the form requested.
Opticians are required by their terms of service to refer a patient to a medical practitioner if any abnormality is detected during the sight test.
That is a good safeguard, and it gives quite an advantage to the qualified opticians.
