Do you go to both optometrists and ophthalmologists for your eye car or just one?
I've only gone to a optometrist in the past as all I've only needed are glasses (or contacts a long time ago). But now, I'm at a crossroads the last couple of visits to my optometrist left me feeling a bit dissatisfied (he once had his own practice but now works in a retail chain and seems to me a bit overwhelmed not being his own boss..not easy having to take orders and follow others' rules ).
I went to an ophthalmologist recently and was happy. Now I'm thinking, maybe I should just get my vision care there as they can write eyeglass prescriptions too. But is that overkill and probably more expensive?
