Who are Opticians?
Health professionals who dispense vision appliances by assessing information contained in prescriptions, contact lens records, and assessment records.

Who are Optometrists?
Health professionals trained to assess the eye and visual system, sensory and ocular motor disorders, and dysfunctions of the eye and the visual system, and diagnose refractive disorders. An Optometrist prescribes and dispenses corrective devices.
Who are Ophthalmologists?
