It's an Optician Thing You Wouldn't Understand
One design for this subject, on a Unisex Standard T-Shirt. If more appear in the same line they will show up here.
Name the right job
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are an optician will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
One design for this job so far. Check the wording matches the title they actually use before buying.
Who it is for
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Better one, or better two
The refraction routine is the joke every optician hears back from patients, usually badly imitated, and it is genuinely the core of the test.
Optician, optometrist and ophthalmologist are three different qualifications, and mixing them up is the fastest way to get a short lecture.
They can also see, immediately, that you are not wearing the glasses you were prescribed.
Sizing and ordering
- Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
- Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
- Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.
If it is not quite the right job
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Pharmacist, Pharmacy and Photography each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
