The distinction between an Ophthalmologist, an Optometrist, an Optician and an Orthoptist is a source of confusion for many people. An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in all aspects of eye care including diagnosis, management, and surgery of ocular diseases and disorders. They provide primary eye care services including eye exams and prescribe medications and perform surgical procedures.
An Optometrist provides routine vision care. The practice of optometry traditionally involves examining the eye for the purpose of prescribing and dispensing corrective lenses and vision screening to detect certain eye abnormalities.
An Optician fits, adjusts and dispenses eyeglasses or corrective lenses that are prescribed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
An optician cannot examine the eyes for disorders or prescribe contact lenses or medication.
An Orthoptist are eye care professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and management of binocular vision problems including Squints and Amblyopia (Lazy Eye).

Eye exams are recommended periodically, with the interval differing for various age groups. In the first three years of infancy, a child should have vision checked along with normal pediatric checkups. Between the ages of three to eight, an eye exam should be scheduled every year or two as this is the most crucial period of eye development. After that period, until adulthood, exams should be scheduled as necessary. During the twenties one should have at least one exam. During the thirties one should have at least two exams. After the age or forty, it is better to have your eyes checked yearly.
For people with a family history of eye problems, those monitoring a diagnosed eye disease, or those with certain high risk diseases such as diabetes, it is recommended that exams should be performed regularly according to your Ophthalmologist’s recommendation. Regular eye exams are the best way to keep you seeing your world clearly.

Many serious eye diseases often have little or no symptoms until they are well developed. The only way to diagnose a problem early in such a case is to schedule periodic eye exams. This is the best way to preserve your vision.

It is better to bring along a family member or friend with you when you come for your checkup. Often at times, we would need to dilate your eyes and after which, may cause you to have blurry vision for a couple of hours. You are also advised to bring a pair of sunglasses along as dilation will cause an extent of discomfort when you go under bright light exposure. After dilation, it may be difficult for you to drive long distance as well.
