See ophthalmologist: Ophthalmologists are fully trained MD's to discover all forms of visual blur including the need for eyeglasses and the myriad of diseases which can lead to blur and disease of the eyes. Optometrists have limited training, mostly in fitting and selling glasses and contact lenses.
