Optometrist

Optometrists scope of practice extends from prescription of spectacles and contact lenses, to the medical treatment of ocular disease. Unlike an Ophthalmologist, an Optometrist has a thorough training in pure and visual optics; they are thus experts within the science of refraction. Entrance requirements to Optometry are invariably high. Nevertheless salaries are high: £35,000 starting salary($70,000)with the future potential to double or triple this.
I saw the Optometrist yesterday, they have given me a prescription for new spectacles and prescribed an antibiotic for my conjunctivitis.

Optometrist

An eye care technition whose scope of practice is limited by training to non surgical eye care in almost all of the United States. The medical eye care they are allowed to deliver is also restricted by training and law. Although they carry the title of "Doctor" in the United States, they do not in Europe. Optometrists are not medically trained and the vast majority of the services they provide is treatment of refractive errors with glasses and contact lenses.
