What is the difference between an eye doctor, optometrist and optician?

An eye doctor (ophthalmologist) is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats all eye conditions, performs surgery and prescribes medication. An optometrist tests vision and gives prescriptions for glasses but does not perform surgery. An optician makes glasses based on a prescription. For eye disease, cataracts, glaucoma or retinal problems, always see a qualified eye doctor.

What qualifications should an eye doctor in India have?

A qualified eye doctor in India holds MBBS followed by MS (Ophthalmology) or DNB. For retinal conditions like diabetic eye disease, look for a vitreoretinal specialist. For cataract surgery, choose an eye doctor with a high number of successful surgeries. For LASIK (removing glasses), choose an eye specialist who uses modern laser equipment.
