Optometry - What Eye care services do Optometrists provide?

An optometrist specializes in treating the health of the eye, orbit, and visual systems. Optometrists primarily provide vision health care, perform routine comprehensive eye exams and vision checks, and provide a prescription for contacts and glasses. However, unlike ophthalmologists, optometrists do not perform major eye surgeries such as cataract surgery. Instead, optometrists provide non-surgical medical health care of diseases and conditions that affect the eye. In some states, optometrists are also able to medically perform laser procedures and other minor ocular surgical procedures.

The main duties of an Optometrist include:

• providing vision services, such as eye care exams, vision therapy and vision tests
• prescribing eye glasses, contact lenses, and performing specialty contact lens fitting
• monitoring eye conditions associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes
• managing medical eye health care conditions such as glaucoma, iritis, dry eye and cataracts
• prescribe medication to treat eye disease such as conjunctivitis (also known as red eye or pink eye)

What are the educational requirements to become an Ophthalmologist?

The educational program required to become an Ophthalmologist is very rigorous. First, one must complete a college bachelor’s degree. This is followed by obtaining a medical degree from either an Osteopathic Medical Program (D.O. degree) or an Allopathic Medical program (M.D. degree) which takes four years to complete. After medical school, one must match into an ophthalmology residency training program that lasts three years but is preceded by an intern or transitional year of training. After ophthalmology residency, individuals have the option of completing a one to two year fellowship in a subspecialty field of study.

Ophthalmology - What Eye Care Services Do Ophthalmologists Provide?

An ophthalmologist specializes in medically treating the eye, orbit, and visual systems. In addition to operating, ophthalmologists may provide vision checks, treat eye infections with antibiotics, and provide a glasses and/or contact prescription. An ophthalmologist commonly splits their time between the eye clinic and the operating room. In clinic, they can diagnose and treat eye health diseases and use lasers to correct eye conditions in addition to performing vision checks. In the operating room, ophthalmologists can perform glaucoma surgery, cataract surgery, LASIK surgery, refractive surgery to correct vision, correct tear duct infections or malformations, repair damaged retinas, corneal transplantation, and manage eye traumas.
