A doctor who specializes in the eye is an 'ophthalmologist'. This type of doctor is one who has completed college and at least eight years of medical training. He/she has a licence to practice medicine and surgery of the eye. He/she is a medical doctor. An optometrist, however, is not a medical doctor but a health professional whose duties involve primary vision care ranging from testing and correction to the diagnosis, treatment and management of vision changes.
So, you may say:
There is a shortage of ophthalmologists at this hospital.
or
I need to see an ophthalmologist because I am developing cataracts in both eyes and they need to be surgically removed.
or
I need to see an optometrist to renew my lenses.
眼科医のことは 'ophthalmologist' と言います。このタイプの医者は、大学を修了し、訓練を少なくとも8年積んでいます。眼科医としての資格を有し、手術もできます。この人は医師(medical doctor)です。
しかし、'optometrist' は医師(medical doctor)ではありません。視力についての診断・治療・管理から検査・矯正まで、基本的なことを扱います。
