@mamaeyesmd: 👁️ A lot of people ask me this, so here’s the scoop: I’m a retina surgeon, which means I treat serious eye conditions like retinal detachments, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration — with lasers, injections, and surgery. But if you need glasses or a routine vision check, an optometrist or general ophthalmologist is the right place to start! We all work together to protect your vision 💪 👉 Tag a friend who wears glasses or didn’t know the difference! #EyeHealth #RetinaSurgeon #Optometrist #Ophthalmologist #VisionCare #KnowYourDoctors #WomenInMedicine #TikTokDoc #creatorsearchinsights

"Well why don't you guys do glasses prescriptions! That's what I'm here for!!" "Actually NO Jim, you're here because you have an 11.7 A1c & now your macula's are swollen and full of fluid." 🥲🫶🏼

Scribe for a retina surgeon here, and this is painfully accurate! Thanks for all you do, so in awe of vitreoretinal specialists.

When the entire eye is just too broad an area of study, you can specialize on just the back of that little ball. 👁️👁️

If you want glasses and contact lenses, you need to go to an optical store and see an optician. Ophthalmologists and optometrists do not sell you frames and lenses nor make them.

I have a joke and every retina doc I’ve met has liked it. What is the best part of a vitreo-ret specialists lunch?

Matt Paulson :
genuinely just curious. I can understand why professionally it's out of scope, but you'd be qualified to do glasses right?

You don’t ask an optom to do PRP laser or intravitreal injections for BRVO or AMD. Retina specialists don’t do refractions.

I’m an optometrist and I can’t tell you how many patients are outraged that their retina specialist wouldn’t renew their glasses or contact lens Rx 🤣 🤣they are super annoyed that they have to come see me🫣

not sure how you'll feel about this but ... people asking you for glasses is kinda like a person with a normal low risk pregnancy planning to have a skilled surgeon deliver their baby ... somehow we made a whole culture where this is the expectation? in this analogy you are the OB who can do a C section for when something went wrong and a midwife is the ophthalmologist for the glasses prescription 💓

"I only want to see a opthalmologist for my glasses"
"why do you have glacoma or something?"
"no because they went to school longer"
"ya Karen to cut your eye open safely not to perfect refractions"
