An ophthalmologist is the medical professional who takes care of the health of the eye. They are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat eye diseases, perform surgeries, and manage complex ocular conditions, in addition to conducting comprehensive eye exams. An optometrist provides primary vision care—refractions for glasses or contacts and management of many eye conditions—but does not perform eye surgeries. A neurologist focuses on the nervous system, and a neurosurgeon operates on neurological conditions, not general eye health. So the term that best fits the description is ophthalmologist.
