To get my eyes checked, should I call Optometrist or my pediatrician?

Question

My mom says pediatrician but i say call the ortho at costco directly

Answer 1

If youre not having vision or eye problems, a pediatrician is fine. If you are having vision problems, you can see an optometrist. If you are having eye problems, see an Ophthalmologist = a real eye doctor.

Answer 2

An optometrist will be best, as they are specialists and you can order glasses through them if you need to.  There is no need to see an ophthalmologist for a checkup.  If you happen to have a problem that requires an ophthalmologist, your optometrist will find it and refer you.

Answer 3

optometrist. the doctor specializes in vision!
