These are specially trained optometrists who screen for obvious medical problems and then do a regimen of exercises and techniques designed to strengthen the eye and improve function. Ophthalmologists do not generally offer this therapy and stick to medications and surgery to treat the eye. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but that depending upon what's going on with your eyes holistically, that would guide you in choosing a path. Get your eyes screened first from an optometrist. If there is a medical/surgical issue, they'll refer you to an ophthalmologist. Get a referral from someone you trust.
