A Bachelor of Optometry trains students to examine eyes, prescribe glasses or contact lenses, and detect vision-related problems. They focus mainly on diagnosis and corrective care.
An ophthalmologist, on the other hand, is a medical doctor (MBBS + specialization) who can perform surgeries and treat advanced eye diseases. Both work closely, but their levels of training and responsibilities differ significantly.
