The eye doctor, that is. Maybe some of you remember this thread (gasp! a poll!)
Anyways I finally went in to get my eyes checked, and I'm getting glasses pretty soon. Thought about contacts, but at the moment I'm going to just use glasses (since I only need them for a couple things)
Might be a bit hard to get used too...
Edit: Is it optometrist or opthalmalogist (sp)? I can't keep the two straight...
optometrist...and welcome to the club :cool:
Welcome! :)Quote:

and its spelled, ophthalmologist.
Optometrist - a doctor of optometry (OD) who is licensed to examine eyes for the prescription and fitting of corrective lenses (glasses and contact lenses).
Opthalmologist - a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and medical or surgical treatment of visual disorders and eye disease.
