Shouldn't an ophthalmologist here in Brazil be able to diagnose you and give you a prescription for corrective lenses, or even perform corrective surgery?
I'm asking in case I might need to look for one in the future.

In places where they are legal they spend their time learning more and more about optics, physics, math and eye anatomy, they don't study diseases, infections and so on.
As result you can't rely on one to fix certain stuff where you do need a medic, but if you need fancy lenses, they will calculate them, not just use a number they get from their measurement machine like ophtalmologists do.
They also would be helpful to design proper 3D glasses and whatnot, holograms and so on.
This is a major screw up and inefficiency from this country.
Thanks for explaining the concept more in-depth too.
