The study of opthalmology is the study, diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions affecting eyes and vision. An opthalmologist is an MD (medical doctor), unlike a DO (doctor of optometry). An optometrist is one who diagnoses visual problems and prescribes eye glasses and contact lenses, and can also prescribe certain prescriptions such as eye drops and eye creams.
