Optometrists are first degree holders who can diagnose eye diseases and give glasses or contact lenses while Ophthalmologists are Medical doctors who after their MBBS go on to specialize as Eye Surgeons after 4-6yrs to obtain a fellowship of a Postgraduate College. The optometrists’ Dr. Is simply “Doctor of Optometry” and not that of a Medical Doctor.
