How To Choose An Eye Doctor – Optometrist Vs Ophthalmologist Choosing the right eye doctor is a very important health decision. Your eye doctor is responsible for ensuring you protect your vision, improving it where necessary from prescribing glasses and contact lenses to removing cataracts, eye floaters, performing surgery on detached or torn retinas, and more. Your sight is one of your most-used senses, you rely on it daily and cannot afford to lose it. Your doctor will help you see as clearly as possible while ensuring your site is protected. There is more than one type of eye doctor, there are optometrists and ophthalmologists, you do need to know the difference between the two. Optometrists are eye doctors who have passed their doctor of Optometry degree, specialising in eye and vision care. Optometrists can perform routine eye examinations, prescribing eyeglasses or contact lenses. They carry out contact lens fittings and will diagnose any eye conditions and problems. They can medically manage injuries and infections. Some optometrists, which have done specialised training can also carry out before and after cataract surgery examinations, along with prescribing and supervising vision therapy. Optometrists are not trained to carry out eye surgery. If you regularly have eye exams, may be due to being short-sighted or far-sighted, then your optometrist may refer you to an ophthalmologist if he feels you have an eye problem, which could be cataracts, eye floaters, retinal problems, macular holes, or more. The ophthalmologist is licensed and qualified to carry out eye surgery. They have comprehensive training in the medical care and management of eye health conditions and problems. Some may specialise in certain eye diseases, such as retina conditions or glaucoma, for example. Pediatric eye doctors specialise in eye care for children, they also can be an optometrist or ophthalmologist. Pediatric optometrists will specialise in the normal development of children’s vision to carrying out eye exams and fit children with glasses. Some can provide vision therapy to treat lazy eyes or learning related vision problems. A pediatric ophthalmologist will specialise in the surgical treatment of eye conditions in children, usually misaligned eyes to congenital cataracts and more. When it comes to routine eye examinations, prescriptions for new glasses, or contact lens fittings and prescriptions, you should visit an optometrist, which is a primary eye care provider. The majority of people may never need specialised eye care, such as surgery from an ophthalmologist. Optometrists are widely spread throughout towns, cities, and some villages.
Ophthalmologists tend to be located outside of the smaller towns and in the large city centers where there is a large population. In most cases, your optometrist will refer you to an ophthalmologist if they feel it necessary. Therefore, you don't have to worry, just arrive for your consultation and take note of what the options are to treat your condition. In the event of a retinal detachment, then you will be assumed an emergency case, which means you are not going to have much time in choosing a specialist doctor. Always do your research before you make an appointment with an eye doctor, whether an optometrist or ophthalmologist. Visit their website, identify their qualifications and experiences, and do your research to get honest feedback from past and present patients. See where they operate from, so you can work out travelling times before you make your first consultation to see what the eye doctor recommends to help improve your vision health.
