Vision affects every aspect of a person’s day. Professionals and busy urbanites who require eye-wear to correct vision expect the very highest standards of care, quality, and style. Knowing the differences in the kinds of providers available in eye care enables those who are ambitious to get the ball rolling toward the optimal vision.
Ophthalmologists
A doctor specializing in diagnoses, treatment, and research of eye diseases is an ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist spends eight years pursuing a post-graduate medical degree. Ophthalmologists correct vision problems by prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses, but also perform eye surgery. Ophthalmologists can specialize in certain diseases like glaucoma, in certain parts of they eye like the retina or cornea, or in certain applications of ophthalmology like pediatrics or neurology.
Optometrists
While not medical doctors, optometry still requires four years of optometry school after a completed undergraduate degree. Optometrists provide services that include vision testing and correction. They also help patients manage changes in vision requiring frequent adjustments in corrective lenses. Optometrists are trained to recognize eye abnormalities and to prescribe medications for detected diseases.
Opticians
Opticians are specially trained technicians who specialize in eyeglass design and fit. They work seamlessly with the recommendations from ophthalmologists and optometrists to provide a very personal level of service and quality in the eye-wear that serves a customer daily after diagnosis, and corrective prescription have been determined.
