Literary notes about optician (AI summary)

The term "optician" in literature has been used both in a literal and a symbolic sense. In one example, the term appears in an allegorical context where the optician, like the philosopher Spinoza, is credited not merely with the profession of eye care but also with an enhanced, almost transcendent spiritual vision [1]. Meanwhile, another usage of "optician" is rooted in its straightforward, vocational meaning, describing an individual who established his practice in Belfast in 1835 [2]. Together, these examples showcase the word’s flexibility, functioning both as a designation for a professional occupation and as a metaphor for deeper insight.
  1. Was by profession an optician like Spinoza, but God vouchsafed to him greater spiritual sight than to the philosopher.
    — from Some Jewish Witnesses For Christ by Aaron Bernstein
  2. In 1835 he settled as optician in Belfast.
    — from Some Jewish Witnesses For Christ by Aaron Bernstein
