Which eye care personnel specialize in fitting spectacles?

Optometrist
Ophthalmologist
Orthoptist
Optician

The correct answer is: Optician

Opticians are eye care professionals who specialize in fitting spectacles or eyeglasses. They are trained to interpret prescriptions written by ophthalmologists or optometrists to ensure the correct lenses are used for the patient's visual needs. Opticians also assist patients in selecting frames that fit comfortably and suit their style preferences. Optometrists and ophthalmologists are more focused on diagnosing and treating eye conditions and diseases rather than fitting spectacles. Orthoptists are eye care professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating visual disorders related to eye alignment and eye muscle movement, but they typically do not specialize in fitting spectacles.
