An Ophthalmologist is a physician that diagnoses and treats eye diseases. They can prescribe drugs, perform examinations, and eye surgery.
Optometrists are doctors of optometry, who examine eyes for vision problems and can refract for eyeglasses and contact lenses.
The Optician (that’s us!) fabricates and dispenses eyeglasses from prescriptions given by ophthalmologists and optometrists. Opticians are also able to duplicate prescriptions from eyeglasses. John Jones, Eyewear Unlimited’s optician, is the only master optician in the Norfolk area.
