OPHTHALMOLOGIST vs OPTOMETRIST vs OPTICIAN

What is the main difference between the three eye-care professionals?

Each member of the eye-care team plays an important role in eye-care, but many people confuse individual professionals and their role in eye-care.

The level of training and expertise and what they can do for you is the biggest difference between the different types of professionals.

In this video we unfold the mystery and reveal the real difference between an Ophthalmologist, Optometrist and Optician.

I'm an IT student who onced dreamed on becoming an Ophthalmologist but had to let go due to financial problems. All I could do is admire it, but if ever I have a kid and wants to study medicine, perhaps I may try to discuss about Ophthalmology if it wants recommendations. Yeah, I'll certainly do it for sure.

I am an Optometrist. On the contrary of your view towards people not taking good care of their eyes, I love hearing my recurring clients complains of their eyes often because more money can be made. In fact, I would intentionally prescript my clients with slight deviations which is enough for them to come back to make another pair of glasses within 2 - 3 months. I do this at least 3 times yearly for every client. Additionally, I would always find fault in them for not taking good care of their eyes while encouraging them to upgrade their lens quality (honestly, it is redundant and expensive), giving them a perceived assurance of their eyes being well protected. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, IT MUST BE FUNNY. IT IS THE RICH MAN'S WORLD.
