I have an eye disease. Can you treat it? OAt Sun City Vision Clinic, we treat glaucoma and we have the latest technology to help care for your glaucoma, macular degeneration, corneal disease, and other eye disease. We do not perform surgical procedures in our office, but we can direct you to excellent surgeons and we can provide you with pre and post operation care. What is the difference between an optometrist and an opthalmologist? At Sun City Vision Center we bring you eye care with an optometrist. Optometrists are eye doctors who have gone to optometry school, a 4-year graduate program following a 4-year undergraduate college degree. Optometrists are licensed to treat eye disease and injury with all available medications, but are not licensed to perform surgeries or injections. If you believe you need eye surgery, an optometrist can provide you with pre-surgical care and can help you find the appropriate surgeon for your condition. Opthalmologists are eye surgeons who have gone through medical school and an opthalmology program. Most opthalmologists choose a specialty, focusing on only a handful of eye diseases depending on the specialty. It is important to know your eye disease so you can choose the appropriate opthalmologist for your care. If you are unsure if you should be seen by an optometrist or opthalmologist, we recommend coming in to the office for a full examination.
