The reference article for this category does not match its content. The article Optician says "An optician is a health care practitioner who designs, fits and dispenses lenses for the correction of a person's vision", not a person "in the field of telescope optics design". I think the telescope designers listed here would be considered optical engineers, not opticians. I plan to start deleting them out (and rewrite the cat def) unless there is something I am missing.

Ok, gotcha. Something like:
Category:Opticians (this category)
Optician is the traditional name for people who work with all types optical devices. They may also be referred to as Optical engineers (see Category:Optical engineers).
For people trained to fill prescriptions for eye correction in the field of medicine see Category:Opticians (eyewear).
Category:Opticians (eyewear)
In the field of Optometry an Optician is a person who is trained to fill prescriptions for eye correction.
For people who work with all types optical devices see Category:Opticians or Category:Optical engineers.
Looks like it would work. Category:Opticians (eyewear) may be a very empty category, are there any notable opticians in the eyewear field? Can you have two categories both pointing to a main article? Both Category:Opticians and Category:Opticians (eyewear) would point that way. Fountains of Bryn Mawr ( talk) 22:06, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
