An Eye Care Specialist
The PuriLens System is available through eye care specialists in the United States.
There are several
types of eye care specialists in practice today. Following is a brief description
of some of the different types of eye care specialists:
Optometrist
An Optometrist is a Doctor of Optometry (OD) and is a state licensed professional.
The Doctor of Optometry diagnoses and treats optical deficiencies and deformities,
vision and muscular anomalies, eye disease and vision problems, provides routine
eye care services and prescribes and dispenses corrective lenses. Optometrists
examine and prescribe corrective lenses, contact lenses, and in some states, medications.
In some cases, the optometrist will provide post care surgery.
Ophthalmologist
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor (MD) or a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO). The
ophthalmologist is specially trained in medical and surgical treatment of eye
disease and other conditions. The ophthalmologist is trained to perform surgery
on the eyes, prescribe medications, and examine and treat the eyes for diseases
and anomalies.
Optician
The optician determines, prepares, produces, and dispenses eyewear best suited
to the wearer's needs, wants, and requirements. The optician is able to generate
optical lenses, frames, and other specialty devices for the intended wearer upon
review, analysis, and interpretation of the prescription from an ophthalmologist
or optometrist. In some states the Optician may dispense contact lenses from a
prescription by an Optometrist or an Ophthalmologist.
An optician also adjusts, replaces, and repairs lenses, frames, and devices and
can reproduce or duplicate devices prepared at a former time.
Contact lens technician
A contact lens technician is someone trained in the instrumentation, fitting,
evaluation, patient instruction, and follow-up of various types of contact lenses
and work for an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist.
