Credentials
All states require ophthalmologists to be licensed. Ophthalmologists must have a college degree (or minimum of three years of college), four years of medical school, a one-year internship, and at least three years of an ophthalmology residency (hospital-based training). They must then pass a licensing examination. As medical doctors, ophthalmologists are regulated by state medical boards.
Optometrists are required to have a college degree, complete a four year optometry doctorate (OD) program, and pass a state license exam to become certified.
