When I say “need to” I mean that it is the the law in CA.
Many ophthalmology practices have optometrists doing exams, surgical pre-ops, post-ops, etc. While they are listed everywhere as an optometrist, and they often introduce themselves as an optometrist, patients still get confused. @eyemgh you worked in an ophthalmology practice. Were patients confused as to whether you were an OD or an MD?
