FAQs
What is the difference between a dispensing optician, an optometrist, an orthoptist and an ophthalmologist?
An optometrist is the trained professional who is specifically trained to carry out full and comprehensive eye examinations. Optometrists examine eyes, test sight, give advice on visual problems and prescribe and dispense glasses or contact lenses. They may recommend special visual aids where appropriate. Optometrists are trained to recognize eye diseases, referring such cases to other specialists as necessary. Optometrists are university educated professionals, who study the exclusive field of optometry for at least three continuous academic years. After acquiring their university degree, optometrists in the UK are trained for at least one year under the supervision (pre- registration year) of a qualified optometrist either in high street practices or in the hospital eye service. They become qualified after succeeding in their professional qualified exams and this takes place after their year of training under supervision. In the UK, an optometrist is not allowed to see patients unsupervised until he becomes qualified.
Dispensing opticians are trained to fit and supply frames and lenses of glasses of each patient’s lifestyle and visual needs. They are also able to fit contact lenses after undergoing special training to do so.
An orthoptist mainly works in cooperation with ophthalmologists and are concerned with eye problems relating to eye movements such as squints. Muscle eye imbalances may result in the inability of the two eyes to work together resulting in problems like double vision (diplopia) or lazy eye (amblyopia).
An ophthalmologist is an eye doctor. Eye doctors diagnose and treat eye conditions. They might prescribe oral medication or drops, perform various treatments including laser treatments and eye injections. Most ophthalmologists are eye surgeons and that of course means that they perform eye operations for various eye conditions. Some ophthalmologists specialize in particular areas of the eye or specific eye conditions based on their training and experience. For instance some ophthalmologists specialize on conditions affecting the anterior part of the eye, as for example the cornea (corneal dystrophies/keratoconus),or the crystalline lens (cataract) while others specialize on conditions affecting the internal tissues of the eye such as the retina (diabetic retinopathy).
