Can optometry be a doctor?
Ophthalmology belongs to the category of clinical medicine. After graduation, he is awarded a bachelor's degree in medicine and can be a doctor. This major mainly trains senior medical professionals who have the basic theoretical knowledge and ability of basic medicine, clinical medicine and optometry medicine and can engage in ophthalmology diagnosis, treatment and medical technology in medical and health units.

Ophthalmology and optometry are two different majors abroad. Traditional ophthalmology is mainly surgery. Like ordinary people, they often go to the ophthalmology department when their eyes are sore and they can't see clearly. Optometry is mainly a kind of power to correct things with optics.

There are few schools of optometry, but the strength of the disciplines that are generally taken out for enrollment alone is not weak. Ophthalmology is a very profitable profession. In the words of experts, the average surgeon can't do several operations a day, but it's easy to do more than a dozen operations a day in ophthalmology, mainly myopia surgery and eye plastic surgery.
