Opthamologist: a medical doctor specializing in eyes and their diseases
Optometrist: NOT a medical doctor, but someone who has graduated from
             a school of Optometry (like the one at U of Waterloo), who
             can examine your eyes and prescribe glasses.  They are supposed
             to be able to identify problems that an Opthamologist should
             treat.
Optician: someone who sells eye glasses.

It's somewhat of a religous arguement as to which you should use.  I personally
go to an Optometrist, and I can give you his name if you wish (he's in Barrhaven).
