well, unless you do not need to pay any copay for optometrist. The only advantage I can see is that you can get an much earlier appt with optometry. Otherwise, ophthalmologists are much better trained and more knowledgeable.

Just check with the ophthalmologist to see if they take your vision insurance. In fact, I'll be taking my little one to see an pediatric ophthalmologist soon for a routine eye exam. And she takes our insurance, though we have to wait for a few weeks for the appointment.

Well, in that case, you still need to make sure he or she takes your medical insurance in case something is wrong. The coverage from vision insurance is close to nothing compared to that of medical insurance.
