I mean, it's not hard to say, "Number 1 or number 2... number 1 or number 2.... number 3 or number 4... 3, or 4..." Even if you totally screw up someone's glasses prescription, you can just redo it.
I'm not saying that ophthalmologists have easy jobs, but an eye doctor visit isn't invasive like surgery. You'd have to prescribe the wrong eye drops or something to get sued. It's not like you'd amputate the wrong limb or remove the wrong organ, or do something totally stupid like the three stooges eye poke.
You are thinking of an optician, ophthalmologists do operate on eyes.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
