Specializes in Pediatrics

Sort of: Opticians are the techs who sell you eyeglasses and contact lenses. They also help to fit these to your eyes. You need to see an ophthalmologist who is a physician specializing in the care of the eyes. With the changes you describe, see an eye doctor soon and get the care that you deserve.
