Just read the stickied thread atop this forum.
16 year old had blasted one of his eyes with a low powered green laser.
He waffled and worried for days, afraid to tell his parents.
Then days later he finally went to what he termed, an optician, who, of course, did not even know what a laser is.
And the kid did not know the difference then between the types of eye care professionals.
This post aims to make it all clear and memorable
Eye Care Professional Differences
personified with humor
Ophthalmologist : a full medical doctor
Optometrist : wasn't good enough
Optician : ocular space monkey
