Can an ophthalmologist write medication prescriptions?
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor, so fully licensed to prescribe whatever medication is needed, as well as treat eye diseases both medically and surgically. An optometrist may have limited prescribing rights depending on their licensure type; they can treat some eye diseases with medications but do not do surgery or injections in general. READ MORE
