眼鏡士
解説 Definition
optician は、処方箋に基づいて眼鏡やコンタクトレンズを作り、調整する専門職を指します。眼科医のように病気を診断する人ではなく、視力矯正用具を実際に選び、合わせる場面で使われます。
An optician is a trained professional who makes and fits glasses or contact lenses based on a prescription. This person helps customers choose frames or lenses and adjusts them so they fit comfortably and work well. Unlike an eye doctor, an optician does not usually diagnose eye diseases.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
optician は optical「光学の・視覚の」と同じ opt-「見ること」に関わる語です。語尾の -ian は musician や technician のように「その分野の人」を表すことが多いので、視力やレンズを扱う専門職と考えると覚えやすいです。ophthalmologist は眼科医、optometrist は検眼を行う専門職なので、optician は眼鏡やレンズを作る・合わせる人に焦点があります。
Think of optician as a person connected to optics or vision. The part opt- is related to seeing, as in optical. The ending -ian often means "a person who works in a field," like musician or technician. So an optician is the person who works with glasses and lenses, not the doctor who treats eye diseases.
例文
The optician adjusted my new glasses so they would fit better.
眼鏡士が新しい眼鏡を調整して、もっと合うようにしてくれた。
After my eye exam, I took the prescription to an optician at the shop.
視力検査のあと、その処方箋を店の眼鏡士のところへ持って行った。
