He's an ophthalmologist he's not an optometrist...an Ophthalmology is a Medicine speciality, that means you need to go to Medical school for 6 years, graduate, then do internship at a mayor hospital to get your General Medcine license...then you become a Dr...After that you get into residency (3-6 more years depending on the specialty) for an specific field you want... be it general surgery, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Neurology or in this character's case into Ophthalmology...so this guy is a trained Dr, that took even more studies to be a specialist in the eyes diseases, still a Dr.
An optometrist is a primary eye care provider focused on vision correction, routine exams, and prescribing glasses or contact lenses. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in complex eye diseases and can perform surgery
No fellow specialist doctor I know, be it and Neurosurgeon or a Dermatologist doesn't know the basics of first aid.
Again the character behavior and knowledge doesn't match his actual education or job. Its annoying really.
yalll do know he’s an eye doctor an optometrist…..EYE…..
