An Optometrist is one who has complied with the provisions of the Optometry Act. / In Ontraio there are two kinds of Ttificates permitting the holder to practice. The first, an "Exemption from Examination" was granted to cians who were "testing" eyes ond, "Optometrist by Examination" is granted to those who take the two year College course, or advanced studies and pass the examination of the Government and of Examiners in Optometry. The work %f the Optician is mechanical; he prepares lenses, adjusts frames, etc. The "Optometrist by Examination" qualifies in the professional and mechanical branches. He examines the eyes, which is vastly different and much more accurate than testing.
