@infocus.eye.care: Optometrist or ophthalmologist… what’s the difference? 👀 Optometrists handle eye exams, glasses, contacts, and many eye conditions. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who can do all of that plus eye surgeries. Both play an important role in keeping your eyes healthy — and we love working together to give you the best care 🙌
Ophthalmologist is not Primarily a surgeon .
don't spread Misinformation.
an Ophthalmologist is the Doctor of the EYE.
primary care physician of the Eye is the Ophthalmologist.

I’m an optometry student and I’m so glad you used the analogy of optometrists being like primary care bc I’ve been using that for a while and I didn’t know if that was the actual perception in medicine or just a me thing

Cornea Ophthalmic tech 🙋🏻♀️25 years, MD’s also do research, case studies, clinical trials and in office procedures. Thank God for their ability to culture ulcers and prescribe fortified meds due to horrible corneal ulcers from CL’s usage. One cannot work without the other in a lot of cases, OD’s are such a blessing with fitting scleral lenses, RGP’s and we NEED you for prisms and dealing with all the double vision. I hate when pts come in with complaints of diplopia.
