In Reply to: Actually, the term Optomologist does exist or I wouldn't have used it. posted by Audiophilander on March 17, 2004 at 19:03:28:
Audiophilander,I too am just teasing, but I'm not overwhelmed that optomologist does exist, even if it is found at a URL. I recognize that the multi-volume Oxford English dictionary lists unimaginable words . . .
The eye doctors who do surgery that I am aware of refer to themselves as ophthamologists and, from the perspective of etymology, this is directly derived from Greek.
Optometrist, and in this case, I guess optomologist, have been made to look more like "English" words by getting rid of the "clumsy" consonantal cluster "phth"--which originally consisted of only two letters in Greek--phi and theta.
At any rate, I enjoy your posts & note that you no longer post much (any?) on the audio forums. They are kind of dead right now . . .
regards, townsend
