State regulations vary as to the scope of practice and while there is overlap, in many states it is not unusual to see opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists practicing on their own. Many ophthalmologists do have opticians on staff so to be able to offer glasses, etc.
You may choose to go to an all -in -one practice...but it is not reflective of the quality of the practice if it is set up differently.
An analogy not so far off. Car dealers usually sell and service cars, even those they do not sell. Many people prefer to have their cars serviced and repaired at independent shops. Often better quality and less expensive.
