Eye care and vision specialists at Allina Health

When you need eye care, there are two types of eye doctors and a technician who may be involved in your care. Each has a different level of training and different role in caring for your eyes.

  • Ophthalmologists are medical doctors specializing in eye and vision care. They have advanced training to diagnose and treat a wide range of vision problems using medicine, laser technology and surgery. In addition, some ophthalmologists further specialize in an area of medical or surgical care, such as pediatrics, retina care or eye cancer.
  • Optometrists provide primary health care for your eyes. They perform annual eye exams, write prescriptions for lenses and detect diseases and disorders that may affect your vision.
  • Opticians fill your lens prescription and help you select and fit your eyeglass frames.

At Allina Health, our ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians work together to provide comprehensive eye care services to you and your whole family.
