What’s the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
Optometrists are health-care professionals who treats vision disorders. They have a four-year post-graduate education that earns them a Doctor of Optometry (OD) title. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors (MD) trained in eye surgery. They’re qualified to prescribe glasses and contact lenses. They’re also the ones qualified to perform all the new laser eye surgery techniques being done these days.
