I took my 8 yr old DD for an eye test at an eye doctor, following the recommendation I got at her routine school eye test. The doctor seemed to do a very thorough test, without drops, then with drops for expanding the pupil. Coming to the conclusion that she is slightly short sighted.
My husband did an eye test recently, at an optician shop - he literally sat down for 60 seconds, and they got his prescription number using some machine that seemed 'looked' into his eyes.
Is one type of test more accurate than the other? Do some places just have this fancy machine and others not?
And for the million dollar question:
does wearing eye glasses for short-sightedness make your eyesight deteriorate quicker? Or vice versa? Or makes no difference at all? Or no one knows?

The opthamologists' exam are more accurate and thorough than the optometrists' exam.
Opthamologists are MDs and examine the eye for any and all issues. Optometrists are basically just checking vision.
I only use opthamologists.

An optician makes glasses. He or she is not qualified to determine prescriptions or diagnose eye diseases. They are business people.
