Optometry

Optometry is a healthcare profession that focuses on the examination, diagnosis, treatment, and management of visual disorders and eye health. Optometrists are trained to assess various aspects of vision, including visual acuity, depth perception, and color vision. They perform eye examinations, prescribe corrective lenses such as glasses and contact lenses, and may provide treatment for certain eye conditions. Additionally, optometrists can detect and manage systemic health issues that may present with ocular symptoms, referring patients to ophthalmologists or other medical professionals when necessary. The field of optometry is essential for promoting eye health, preventing vision loss, and enhancing the quality of life through better visual function.
