Italian translation:Oculista e Ottico
Explanation:
In Inghilterra c'è una separazione fra i due compiti. In italiano io suggerisco Oculista (che misura) e Ottico (il negoziante e tecnico=dispensing optician)
Sulle insegne dei negozi si vede " Ophtalmic Opticians and Dispensing OPticians" assieme e a volte separati. Significa che uno ti misura la vista e l'altro ti fa la montatura delle lenti o anche delle lenti a contatto. Ecco come le definscono gli inglesi/americani

Dispensing opticians fit eyeglasses and contact lenses, following prescriptions written by ophthalmologists or optometrists. Dispensing opticians help customers select appropriate frames, order the necessary ophthalmic laboratory work and adjust the finished eyeglasses. In some States, they fit contact lenses under the supervision of an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

An Optometrist performs eyesight tests and examinations prescribe corrective lenses or spectacles to those who need them. They also fit spectacles or contact lenses, give advice on visual problems and have the responsibility for the detection of any ocular disease or abnormality. Definizione della NHS.
