Ophthalmologist: Only an ophthalmologist is fully trained to take care of eye disease, eye trauma, eye surgery as well as ordinary eye glass correction and contact lenses. Optometrists are very limited and opticians only make glasses.

See an eye doc: Severe eye problems should be worked up by an optometrist or ophthalmologist if there is one nearby.
