Not enough that's for sure, and not enough opticians keep their priorities steadfastly um, 'optical' once they're in charge of the books too.
Sorry, I think I killed your metaphor...

Good job they don't write dictionaries.
I probably WOULD have guessed that, anyway - given that they are opticians. Why do they think we'd be surprised at that ?

Ever been to an optician conference? (I know. Rhetorical question.) The primary focus of opticians is how to maximize the revenue of chair time. Not the most objective group.
I know that wasn't your point. Sorry.

Very clever, And i agree with the concept, however that said, could an airport be run by pilots?
Actually that's not quite a good metaphor. Still the implication here is that those who work with the product are in charge, thus producing a shop that cares more about the product.
