Me: I have wondered about this too. Aren't there any wizard doctors? 
Or are the "nurses" good enough that "doctors" aren't necessary?

Me: I think just like some wizard's don't like to apparate because of 
the difficulty, the same goes with making your eyes 20/20. Perhaps 
the spell is too tough, like becoming an animagus; or a hard potion, 
like the polyjuice - it's just too easy to screw it up - and who 
wants to be a blind wizard? Easier just to repair your glasses.

Personally I'd rather go to Madame Pomfrey than a muggle doctor.
