What Is the Difference Between an Ophthalmologist and an Optometrist?

Ophthalmologist

Ophthalmologists are medical doctors (M.D.) with medical school training specifically trained to provide the full spectrum of eye care, from diagnosing disorders to treating eye diseases and performing various types of eye surgery. 

Optometrist

An optometrist is an eye doctor of optometry (O.D.) licensed to practice optometry, specializing in vision correction. The practice of optometry traditionally involves examining the eye for the purpose of prescribing and dispensing corrective lenses, screening vision to detect certain eye abnormalities, and prescribing medications for certain eye diseases.

At International Eye Associates, we work alongside ophthalmologists to provide post-operative care, address urgent or specialty issues, and ensure that patients receive well-rounded care at each clinic visit.
