I think you mean optometrist or an ophthalmologist. An optometrist can write a prescription for glasses, but is not a medical doctor and cannot prescribe drugs. An opthalmologist is a medical doctor who can write a prescription for glasses and can also prescribe drugs. An optician is a person who can only measure you for frames and lenses, but cannot examine your eyes or write an eyeglass prescription.
