Dispensing optician David Agyeman has been struck off the General Optical Council register for fitting 14 patients with contact lenses while unqualified.
On July 1, a fitness to practise committee found him guilty of misconduct for the fittings made to patients while working for Asda in Sutton Coldfield between July 6 and August 31 2005.
Although a qualified DO, the hearing was told that Agyeman, 32, had failed a course to become a contact lens optician in 2002.
The committee also heard that on February 14 2002 a GOC disciplinary committee had fined Agyeman £700. The fine, along with a severe warning, was for failing to obtain registration as a dispensing optician while employed at Boots Opticians between May 31 1999 and July 10 2000 as well as fitting contact lenses between December 1999 and March 2001 while unqualified.
