Eye Doctor

There are many types of eye doctors who are specialists in different areas and have different domains of practice. The similarity that they all have is that they provide service related to your eyes and vision. They are Ophthalmologists, Optometrists and Opticians.

Optician is someone who only specifically prescribes glasses for primary conditions like shortsightedness and astigmatism. Optometrist and Pediatric Ophthalmologist are somewhat similar because both they provide prescription of glasses, diagnose, treatment and evaluate and devise a program or plan on how to optimize the performance of eyes. Primarily, ophthalmologists are trained to do surgery, like Lasik.

Fullerton Lasik Surgery’s ophthalmologists are highly experienced and dedicated to perform or treat any challenging eye disorders and/or problems. On the other hand, optometrists are more suited for the application of lenses, prisms and vision therapy to improve and treat visual conditions.

Fullerton Optometrist offers you the options between surgery, therapy and lenses. According to studies, on a scientific angle, interventions like vision therapy facilitated by behavioral optometrists worked to a considerably high success rate in treating vision disorders and learning affected vision conditions. All our optometrists are vision therapist trained. They are known to provide professional medical assistance like visual training, vision training or visual therapy. These visual medical therapies are methods that attempt to correct and/or objectively improve presumed ocular, perceptual disorders and also visual processing. All such therapies do not include any surgical and invasive procedures. This makes them comparatively safer and less risky. However, the only trade off may be the time, as it may take certain duration for an improvement or recovery to get noticed.

Basically, the two most common therapies used are Orthopic Vision Therapy and Developmental Optometry. The brief function of Orthopic Vision Therapy is the treatment of eyes having problem with their coordination, amblyopia and binocular vision with the aid of apparatus like glasses and prisms. The therapy also includes some exercises of eyes that improve the comfort and efficiency of vision. Developmental Vision Therapy is more systematic and requires the practitioners to be specialized because it treats the difficulty to focus. This therapy is more commonly used for professional athletes to increase their responsiveness and reflexes.
