A great review.
That is why I became an Electrical Engineer.
I can't take the pressure.
Ophthalmology is much harder.

Better to check one eye with ophthalmologist and other eye with optometrist just to know who cares more?

[miguelortega]

You both are so beautiful that no matter how bad my I eyesight may be, I will still see you both very well!

Optometrists are well trained to treat and manage eye diseases as well as other refractive conditions

Hello. I did cataract surgery on the 7th of this month and my vision was ok the day after the surgery but now it is cloudy again. What should I do?

In my practice, we have an eyecare professional who specializes in general ophthalmology. To be honest, I am not totally sure what she does exactly as a general ophthalmologist. Could you explain what it means?

[rethabile]

Does optometrist work (assistant) with an ophthalmologist when operating an eye?

Does optometrist work during the night?

[liberals_destroy_everythin]

Ask if the office disinfects their test equipment. I picked up an eye infection at my new optometrist's office.

[sienanrey]

Can optometrist still go to medical school and be both an optometrist and ophthalmologist?

[otiebrown]

[Docante]

Too many optometrists are wanna be ophthalmologists

[dr.buddhiofficial]

Optometrist are paramedic who are trained to do refraction and dispensing glass and contact lenses.Better not to go to independent optometrist causs they may miss ur sight threatening conditions.If he or she is working under Opthalmologist thats fine because Opthalmologist is more focused on medical and surgical training.
