What is the difference between an optometrist and a refractionist?

An optometrist is a licensed healthcare professional who can examine eyes, diagnose vision problems, prescribe glasses or contact lenses, and detect eye diseases.

A refractionist, on the other hand, primarily focuses on measuring vision and determining the correct prescription for lenses but doesn't diagnose or treat eye conditions.
