I never go to a regular eye doctor. I see an ophthalmologist. They can see much more behind the eye and are specialists.

Sorry, but I disagree, The only difference is, ophthalmologist do surgeries and optomitrist do not. An optomitrist is just as able to find problems and usually do find the problem first. The doctor I work for, Dr. Zabirowicz is very well known for his wonderful work, his patients love him and most continue to come to him even if their insurance isn't accepted in our office. I would not trust anyone else with my eyes without his approval.
