Phoenix's Most Trusted Optometrist — Since 1994
Finding the right optometrist in Phoenix is one of the most important decisions you can make for your long-term eye health. At Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center, our board-certified optometrists combine decades of experience with advanced technology to provide comprehensive, personalized eye care that goes far beyond simply updating your glasses prescription.
What is an Optometrist?
An optometrist (O.D.) is a licensed doctor of optometry who has completed a four-year professional degree program following an undergraduate education. Optometrists are primary eye care providers who examine eyes for both vision and health problems, prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses, diagnose eye diseases, and in some states, prescribe medications to treat eye conditions.
At Arizona's Vision, our optometrists are not just vision correctors — they are your primary eye health doctors who monitor your eyes for signs of disease and systemic health conditions.

Optometrist vs. Ophthalmologist: What's the Difference?
Many patients wonder about the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist. Here's a simple breakdown:
Optometrist (O.D.)
- Earned a Doctor of Optometry degree
- Primary eye care provider
- Performs comprehensive eye exams
- Prescribes glasses and contact lenses
- Diagnoses and treats eye diseases

- Ideal for routine eye care & disease management
Ophthalmologist (M.D.)
- Medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.)
