What is an optomologist?

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specializing in eye and vision care. They are trained to diagnose and treat various eye diseases, perform eye surgeries, and prescribe corrective lenses. Unlike optometrists, who provide primary vision care, ophthalmologists have completed medical school and have extensive training in both medical and surgical aspects of eye health. Their expertise allows them to manage complex conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal disorders.
