Dr. Aman Sappal Contact:The World Health Organization defines the

eyecare work of an orthoptist as:
The study and treatment of defects in binocular vision resulting from
defects in the optic musculature or of faulty visual habits. It involves a
technique of eye exercises designed to correct the visual axes of eyes not
properly coordinated for binocular vision.

Another important difference between the types of oculists is that while

optometrists may obtain their doctorate by graduating at a special school
in which they are trained to be optometrists, ophthalmologists are medical
doctors who need to graduate from medical school and many years of
internships in order to be able to get their degree. Moreover, because of
their more advanced background in the study of eye care,
ophthalmologists may proceed in their studying in this field and
specializing in domains such as pediatric ophthalmology, corneal disease
or ocular oncology. This is the reason why ophthalmologists are often
classified as surgeons rather than doctors.

Older terminology
* Oculist – Either an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The term "oculist"
was primarily used to describe eye care professionals that are trained and
specialized in the eye care field. This is in fact a general term that can
denote an ophthalmologist or an optometrist at the same time. The
difference between these two types of oculists is made by the
specializationsthey may choose. If the oculist is trained and specialized in
treating medical conditions that may affect the eye and result in an eye
defect will be referred to as an ophthalmologist. Optometrists, on the other
hand, are the eye care professionals that are specialized in only treating
eye defects by prescribing the appropriate corrective lenses. They are also
referred to as "eye doctors".
