The three "O"s in eyecare are: opticians,
optometrists, and ophthalmologists. The word optometrist
comes from the Greek roots, optos, meaning seen or visible
and metria, meaning measurement. An optometrist means
"one who measures vision." Oculist is an old
word for eye doctor that can refer to either an optometrist
or an ophthalmologist. An ocularist is a technician
that specializes in the fabricating and fitting of artificial
eyes.
In the United States, ophthalmologist and optometrist
are specific terms referring to specific state licensing
and courses of professional study. Optometrists receive
the Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree, and some go on
to complete residencies. Ophthalmologists are medical
doctors (MD or DO) who have completed medical school
followed by a 3-4 year residency in ophthalmology
and have received board certification. Some ophthalmologists
perform an additional fellowship in a specific subspecialty
of ophthalmology. The American Optometric Association
characterizes optometrists as "primary eye care
providers." Ophthalmogists may perform major
eye surgery while optometrists do not. Recently, changes
in some states' laws have led to an overlap in the
capabilities of the two professions to treat eye disease
with pharmacological agents.
