An optometrist is a specialist in evaluating the visual system, measuring vision, correcting visual errors, and performing primary eye disease screenings. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing, treating, and performing surgery for eye diseases. If any abnormality beyond the scope of optometric practice is detected, the optometrist will refer the patient to an ophthalmologist for appropriate medical care

In general, it is recommended to get an eye examination at least once a year, or sooner if you experience symptoms such as blurred vision, eye strain, headaches, double vision, or if you have underlying health conditions that may affect the eyes, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

If an abnormality is detected, the optometrist will provide initial care guidance and arrange a timely referral to an ophthalmologist or the relevant specialist department for further diagnosis and ongoing medical treatment.
