What is the medical term for eye specialist?

Answer 1

Ocular
Orbit is the medical term for the eyeball.
I believe it's called Globe and can be divided into two segments, anterior and posterior.

Oculus. (pl. oculi).

Oculus sinister (left eye.)

Oculus dexter (right eye.)

The original answer is partially correct. The eye itself is made up of many, many parts and most MDs simply refer to it as an "eye".

Answer 2

• An ophthalmologist specializes in ophthalmology, the study of the eyes. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors that care for the diseases of the eyes and often specialize in such things as retinas, surgery and the like.
• Optometrists care for the identification of diseases of the eyes and fitting glasses to the eyes for visual acuity.
• Opticians are not doctors but trained technicians in filling the prescriptions to the eyes.

Ophthalmic optician

Answer 3

Ophthalmologists (MD/DO)are eye doctors that specialize in the medical and surgical care of the eyes. Since Ophthalmologists perform operations on eyes, they are considered to be both surgical and medical specialists.

Optometrists (OD) are eye doctors of optometry. They are trained to examine, diagnose, treat, and manage some diseases and disorders of the eye and visual system.

Both doctors can prescribe glasses and contact lenses, but it's more common that Optometrists do this.

An Optician is a specialized health care practitioner who designs, fits and dispenses lenses for the correction of a person's vision. Some states require an Optician to be licensed to do so.

Each position plays an important role in the health of your eyes. You should get your vision checked annually if you wear contacts and/or every two years if you wear glasses. Also, if don't wear either, you should go every two years for a checkup to make sure your eyes are healthy. Believe it or not, a doctor can determine other health issues just by examining your eyes!
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors (physicians) who specialize in eyes. They have M.D. degrees and have all the training that other medical doctors have as well as their specialty training.

Optometrists are not medical doctors, but they do have a Doctor of Optometry degree earned through several years of post-college education.
