VISION
CARE TERMS DEFINED |
|
What is an Ophthalmologist? |
|
An
opththalmologist is a Medical Doctor (MD) who specializes in the
structure, functions and diseases of the eye. As
physicians, these practitioners may examine the eye for refractive errors or physiological
conditions, perform surgery or prescribe drugs to treat patients. In addition to
prescribing and dispensing eyeglasses or contact lenses, they may also perform elective
procedures such as LASIK to correct a patient's vision. |
|
What is an Optometrist? |
|
As a Doctor
of Optometry, this vision care professional examines the eye for refractive
errors and may prescribe and dispense eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct vision.
Depending on the extent of training, these eye doctors may also be licensed to
prescribe ocular exercises or topical drugs to treat patients. |
|

|
What is an Optician? |
|
An
optician or Ophthalmic Dispenser is licensed or qualified to supply and
fit eyeglasses as well as deal in various optical items and instruments. Opticians read
prescriptions for visual correction written by eye doctors and then may fill the script by
either using frames and lenses to fabricate eyeglasses or by ordering the prescribed
contact lenses. |
|
What is LASIK Surgery? |
|
Laser
In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is currently the most effective surgical method
used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This procedure is
usually performed by specially trained ophthalmologists and has
permanently eliminated the need for corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses for many
thousands of patients throughout the world. |
