Ophthalmologist, Optometrist, Optician
What Is the Difference?
The comprehensive care we offer like treatment for retinal detachment in Salinas, CA and Monterey, CA, can only be performed by an ophthalmologist. Patients who are interested in improving their vision may wonder why they should choose an ophthalmologist over an optometrist or optician for their vision care needs.
Ophthalmologist
An ophthalmologist is a licensed medical doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. They can also diagnose and treat eye diseases by performing surgery and prescribing medication.
Optometrist
An optometrist is a healthcare professional who is trained in providing primary vision care. After receiving a doctor of optometry degree, an optometrist can test, diagnose, manage, and treat vision changes but cannot perform surgery.
Optician
In contrast with optometrists and ophthalmologists, opticians do not have a medical degree and cannot perform eye exams or treatments. An optician can help fulfill eye prescriptions written by a doctor and find the right fit for glasses, frames, and contact lenses.

“Great staff, wonderful doctors, and excellent service. they removed the cataracts from my eyes, and placed new lenses which are so crystal clear. It took two sessions, but well worth the effort. Very professional, and the surgery happened at the Monterey Surgery Center on Cass St. which is so convenient. I recommend this group.” – Cheryl, 5-Star Review
