What is the difference between an optometrist and an optician?

An optometrist (eye doctor) is a licensed medical professional who examines your eyes, diagnoses diseases like glaucoma or cataracts, and prescribes corrective lenses. Once your medical exam is complete, our expert opticians handle the technical fitting, glazing, and dispensing of your prescribed eyewear.

How often should I see an eye doctor?

We recommend a comprehensive eye examination once a year for adults and children. However, if you are diabetic, over the age of 60, or have a family history of glaucoma, our doctors may recommend more frequent monitoring.

Do you treat eye emergencies at the Ikoyi clinic?

Yes, our optometrists are fully equipped to diagnose and treat acute eye conditions, including conjunctivitis (pink eye), foreign body removal, severe allergies, and sudden changes in vision. Visit our Emergency Eye Care page for immediate protocol.

What is the difference between an Optometrist and an Eye Doctor at your Ikoyi clinic?

In Nigeria, many people use Eye Doctor when they are looking for an Optometrist (O.D.). Our Optometrists are highly-trained, licensed professionals who handle all your primary eye care needs: comprehensive eye exams, prescriptions for glasses and contacts, and management of non-surgical eye conditions. We refer you to an Ophthalmologist (M.D.) only if you require surgery.
