Ophthalmologist 3. Sylvain Fisson

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating eye disorders and diseases. They can perform eye surgery and prescribe medications, as well as fit patients for glasses or contact lenses. Unlike optometrists, who primarily focus on vision correction and basic eye care, ophthalmologists have completed extensive medical training, including a residency in ophthalmology, allowing them to handle complex eye conditions. They manage a wide range of issues, from cataracts and glaucoma to retinal diseases, ensuring patients maintain good eye health and optimal vision throughout their lives.
