Optometrist vs. Ophthalmologist

Many parents wonder: what’s the difference?

• Optometrists: Perform routine exams, diagnose and treat most eye conditions, and prescribe glasses or contacts.
• Ophthalmologists: Medical doctors who treat advanced eye diseases and perform surgery.

Unless your child has a serious eye condition, an optometrist is the best place to start.
