Eye doctors evaluate the overall health of your eyes and can also prescribe vision correction solutions such as glasses or contacts. Eye exams can detect over 270 different medical conditions, and if your vision is blurry or you have difficulty seeing in low light, an eye doctor may be able to prescribe a solution for you.
There are three types of eye care professionals you might see at your appointment—an ophthalmologist (MD), optometrist (OD) and optician. Ever wonder what each eye care professional does? Here’s a breakdown:
Ophthalmologist
Is a medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) and completed a residency in ophthalmology
Manages and treats complex medical and surgical eye problems often by sub-specialty
Can provide comprehensive eye examinations and may fit contact lenses
Optometrist

Can treat certain eye problems and diseases with medications and/or procedures
