Short Bio

An eye doctor provides a variety of services related to the eyes and vision. An eye doctor may have a bachelor's degree or an advanced degree from a postsecondary institution. A few of these professionals have doctoral degrees. Any healthcare worker who works with the eyes can be considered an eye care professional. Some eye doctors have a lot of postsecondary education and some have a doctoral degree. This article will provide a general overview of the career and its different specialties. An eye doctor will also perform tests to determine if a patient's eyesight is normal. This will allow the doctor to determine if they are missing any vision or having trouble focusing. Patients will be asked to press a button when they see a light and tell the doctor when they are not able to see the letters. The response to these tests will help the doctor diagnose a particular eye disease or vision problem. The tangent screen and Goldmann test are two types of tests. The first step in choosing an eye doctor is to ask about your general health and eye problems. A reputable optometrist is a licensed health care professional and should have undergone a residency in ophthalmology. An ophthalmologist is also a licensed physician, and should be certified by the state medical board. If you don't know much about eye health, an eye doctor will be able to answer many of your questions.
