doggedfighter: I had to Google out an answer. Optometrists are eye care professionals who provide primary vision care ranging from sight testing and correction to the diagnosis, treatment and management of vision changes. An optometrist is not a medical doctor. They receive a doctor of optometry (OD) degree after completing four years of optometry school, preceded by at least three years of college. They are licensed to practice optometry which primarily involves performing eye exams and vision tests, prescribing and dispensing corrective lenses, detecting certain eye abnormalities and prescribing medications for certain eye diseases. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. Ophthalmologists differ from optometrists in their levels of training and in what they can diagnose and treat. As a medical doctor who has completed college and at least eight years of additional medical training, an ophthalmologist is licensed to practice medicine and surgery. An ophthalmologist diagnoses and treats all eye diseases, performs eye surgery and prescribes and fits eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct vision problems. Cc: Medicaleyecentre . Com 3 Likes |

doggedfighter:yes Optometrist are eye doctors as well as Ophthalmologist. Optometrists are your primary eye care doctors and Ophthalmologists provide secondary and tertiary eye care. Optometrist are not medical doctors but are optometric doctors. Their training pathways differ from that of medical doctors and they are awarded different degrees ; while a medical doctor is awarded a doctor of medicine or bachelor of medicine degree upon completion an optometrist is awarded a doctor of Optometry degree upon completion. Optometrists can be limited in their scope of practice as they cannot perform certain procedures or manage certain eye diseases and hence having to refer those kind of patients to other specialist or ophthalmologist as situation demands. Ophthalmologist perform eye surgeries but optometrist do not carry out surgeries. However, in some countries, Optometrists are allowed to carry out some certain kind of eye surgeries. The scope of practice of Optometrist differ from country to country. I hope this helps 2 Likes |
