A member asked:

What type of equipment do optometrists use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Standard: Optometrists work from an office with devices to measure eyeglass power, determine that power, and image the eye with magnification and recording. Ophthalmologists have the same and some more advanced equipment because they also do surgery and take care of more complex eye problems.
