If you’re experiencing frequent eye irritation or unusual vision changes, do you make an appointment with your optician, optometrist, or your ophthalmologist? What if you need to schedule a comprehensive eye exam, update your current lens prescription, or adjust the nose pads on your glasses? Would you call the same office?
Opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists all specialize in eye care, however one may be better suited for a specific situation than another. This chart will help you determine which one you need the next time you make an appointment.
