The O's of Eyecare
We love our doctors and eyecare professionals!
Optometrists are essential healthcare providers recognized as physicians under Medicare. They examine, diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of ocular conditions, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. They prescribe medications, low vision rehabilitation, vision therapy, spectacle lenses, and contact lenses and, in some states, perform surgical procedures.
Ophthalmologists, licensed to practice medicine and surgery, offer comprehensive eye care. They diagnose and treat a wide range of eye diseases, perform intricate eye surgeries, and prescribe and fit eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct vision problems. Their ability to provide such diverse services instills a sense of reassurance in patients.
Opticians, as meticulous and highly skilled technicians, are trained to design, verify, and fit eyeglass lenses and frames, contact lenses, and other devices to correct eyesight. Their precision in this work ensures that the audience can feel secure about the quality and effectiveness of their eyewear, enhancing their overall eyecare experience.
