No, an eye technician is not considered a doctor in India. Eye technicians, also known as ophthalmic technicians or ophthalmic technologists, are allied healthcare professionals who support eye doctors (ophthalmologists and optometrists) by performing various tasks related to eye care.
They assist with eye exams, conduct diagnostic tests, help with minor surgical procedures, administer eye medications, and educate patients about eye care.
