There are a few <a href="http://www.Retinaeyedoctor.Com/2009/10/difference-between-ophthalmologist-and-optometrist/">differences between these eye doctors.</a>. Optometrists go to optometry school after college, offer eye exams, treat limited medical conditions and do not operate. Opthalmologists complete medical school.
