The Role of Optometrists and Ophthalmologists

Optometrists and ophthalmologists have overlapping roles in providing eye care. Optometrists have an optometry degree and focus on primary care and screening exams. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who have specialized in ophthalmology and can perform surgeries. Both can diagnose and prescribe treatments for eye diseases.
