About Optometrists
* Also known as doctors of optometry, or ODs
* Provide most primary vision care
* Examine people's eyes to diagnose vision problems and eye diseases
* Test patients' visual acuity, depth and color perception, and ability to focus and coordinate the eyes
* Prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses and provide vision therapy and low-vision rehabilitation
* Should not be confused with ophthalmologists or dispensing opticians.
o Ophthalmologists are physicians who perform eye surgery, and diagnose and treat eye diseases and injuries. Like optometrists, they also examine eyes and prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses.
o Dispensing opticians fit and adjust eyeglasses and, in some states, may fit contact lenses according to prescriptions written by ophthalmologists or optometrists.
* Must be licensed to practice (all states and the District of Columbia require licensing)
