What role does an optometrist play in laser surgery

Answer»

An ophthalmologist is a trained medical DOCTOR who has earned an MD (Medical Doctor) or DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) degree and who is licensed to surgically invade the eye. He or she has typically spent four YEARS in undergraduate studies, four years in medical school and three additional years studying surgery and diseases of the eye.

An ophthalmologist will USUALLY practice in a private office or a hospital setting. While an ophthalmologist can prescribe GLASSES and contact lenses, his primary focus is treating and managing ocular diseases. The task of writing glasses and contact lens prescriptions are usually given to assistants or TECHNICIANS in the office.
