An ophthalmologist can provide the same services as an optometrist, such as prescribing eyeglasses as well as contact lenses to treat vision problems. An ophthalmologist also diagnoses as well as treats eye conditions, does eye surgeries, and participates in scientific research on the causes and treatment for eye diseases and vision issues. Sometimes, ophthalmologists also detect health issues that are not related to the eyes but become clear in a routine eye exam.
