A member asked:

Can i consult with more than one optometrist at a time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes but why: If you actually are concerned about the health of your eyes, you will consult with an ophthalmologist who is fully trained to deal with all aspects of eye health and visual needs and not just glasses and contacts.
