Eye doctor

The oculist is an eye doctor.

Can the synonym "eye doctor" be a complement of the subject "The oculist"?

  

Top answer

I guess it's possible if a specific oculist has been mentioned, and you wish to explain to someone who he is and what he does. However, if it's intended as a general definition then one would say "An oculist is an eye doctor".
