A member asked:
Should i go to an opthamologist or to a optometrist about my blind spots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ophthalmologist: Always best for anything other than eyeglasses or contacts to see an ophthalmologist who has comprehensive training in eye diagnosis and treatment for a total of 9-11 years after college while optoms have 4 years after college - a substantial difference.
