Optometrist or opthalmologist

2023-10-09 18:20:53
Hi I have black dot which is like cloudy smudgy greyish black dot in the left eye vision/eyesight. Do we need to see the opthalmologist or optometrist for this? I asked the clinic for the opthalmologist appointment but they asked me to see the optometrist first for this issue. How to find out if I have any retinal tear or detachment? Are these floaters or retinal break/ detachment? What test should I ask for? It's been like this ten days now and my appointment is only next week. Are these need to be treated and seen asap? Thanks.
