    Ophthalmologist not Optometrist - They are different professions, the latter does not requires MD.

    It was useful but why only 15 types of doctors? There are many other types of doctors too. I am looking forward to seeing a more enriched article.

    An Optometrist is not even a doctor. They did not go to medical school so therefore they are not a medical doctor. An eye doctor is actually an Opthamologist. For people to call an optometrist an eye doctor is like calling a professional baseball player a little league outfielder. It is false to call an optometrist an eye doctor. Call any opthamologist an optometrist and you will definitely regret it.
