Post laser eye treatment, regardless of medical files/history- can an optician and/or doctor tell that I have had treatment from observing/inspecting my eyes very closely?

  1. An optician should not be able to know for sure that you've had laser surgery without your telling them. An optician's main focus is only to fit you with the correct glasses or contacts, not diagnose. OptomeTRISTS can detect this surgery since they get a close up view of your cornea, and are medically trained doctors.  


  2. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors, not optometrists. Both, however, can tell if you have had laser surgery.
