A Guide On Different Types Of Eye Doctor For Different Eye Problems

    July 21, 2022 136 Views

Are you having eye problems? And you are confused over which eye specialist would help you get rid of your particular situation.

Or are they all the same?

To answer this question- NO, they are not the same, and you would require to visit a specialist eye doctor for specific issues. Each one of the best eye doctor in Punjab has specialized in their particular field by getting a level of education and training. So it only make sense if they specialize in only one aspect of vision and not the other.

This is why if you want to get the best eye health care, you should know which eye doctor you should go to.

In this blog, we will discuss the different eye doctors and how you can identify them in order to book your appointment. For example, a Lasik surgeon would perform  Lasik Surgery in Jalandhar.

Different Types Of Eye Doctors

This is a list of doctors who are professional in one aspect of vision checking.

  • Opticians

They are those types of doctors who are qualified to conduct only fit and dispense glasses, contact lenses, or any other form of vision improvement aids. These aids also include artificial eyes.

The state authority or institute must license the optician for a professional province to set their practice. The opticians do not have the right to write off medication prescriptions to their patients as they are not licensed to diagnose issues related to the eye. Hence they are also not capable enough to conduct examinations or treat their conditions. The only reason to visit an optician is when you want to get a new pair of glasses or contact lenses. Some opticians also provide the services of glasses repair.

In case you are suffering from pain, itching, or irritation of any sort in the eye, do not go to an optician for a check-up.

  • Optometrist

They are basically primary health care providers in the profession of eye care. And they also require a license to practice. They adhere to strict laws in order to keep their license intact. The professional doctor, an optometrist, completed their graduation from a four-year degree program in optometry with on-the-job training.

These programs qualify them to perform the examination of the yes and diagnose the cognition to treat it accordingly. In case you are suffering from any kind of problem in your eye, you should book an appointment right away with an optometrist. After they diagnose the problem, they will help you find the right treatment plan that works for you in order to cure the symptoms. Apart from that, they might also prescribe your corrective lenses. They will also suggest your surgery as they will not perform one themselves. They might also teach you some at-home natural vision care methods for better eye health. There are also so many optometrist offices that sell contact lenses and eyeglasses.

Even though they are professional eye doctors, they are not qualified enough to conduct full-fledged eye surgery.
