The eye is one of the Body's most sensitive organs. Therefore, you must always take care of it with delicacy. Choosing the right eye care provider is a crucial decision since you would trust the specialist with your sense of sight. So who should you go to; an optometrist or an ophthalmologist? Were they identical? The essay discusses optometry and ophthalmology, as well as the dividing line between the two professions.
An optometrist is an eye care specialist whose primary eye care services range from correcting, checking sight, diagnosing, and treating changes in vision to treatment. Contrary to popular belief, an optometrist is not a physician and is therefore not licensed in the UK to practice medicine and surgery. They are however crucial professionals in the care of pre-and post-eye surgery.
