What's The Difference Between an Optometrist and an Optician? An optometrist is a medically trained eye doctor (Doctor of Optometry) who provides both vision care and eye care, including the diagnosis and medical treatment of eye diseases. An optician is trained and certified in the fitting and dispensing of eyeglasses or contact lenses. An optician doesn't have medical training and doesn't diagnose or treat eye diseases. Simply put, an optometrist is an eye doctor and an optician is an eyeglasses specialist.
