Understand the difference in service professionals:
An Optometrist is the eye doctor that performs examinations to determine your prescription requirements and checks the health of your eyes. They assess and treat external eye diseases and will refer internal diseases to Ophthalmologists
A licensed Optician is like the Pharmacist of the optical world. They fill prescriptions given by an Optometrist, with visual aids such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, etc. They design, prepare, dispense, and repair these optical aids. Licensed Opticians are advocates for your eyes. They make sure that your eye care options are both current and safe. They provide council about your eye health, in collaboration with Optometrists and Ophthalmologists.
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors that specialize in performing eye surgery. They assess and treat internal eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration.
All three professionals work together to give you, the patient, the best eye care possible.
