Who is better for eye exams an OD or MD?

Both ODs (Doctor of Optometry) and MDs (Medical Doctors, often ophthalmologists) are qualified to perform eye exams, but their focus differs. ODs primarily specialize in vision care and can diagnose and treat many eye conditions, while MDs focus on medical and surgical eye issues. For routine eye exams and vision correction, an OD is often sufficient, but for more complex medical or surgical issues, an MD may be more appropriate. Your choice may depend on specific eye health needs.
