- Optometrists are primary health care practitioners of the eye, who provide comprehensive eye and vision care, which includes :
- Managing vision-related problems
- Prescribing glasses, contact lenses and low vision aids
- Detection/diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system
- Providing non-surgical intervention for specific binocular vision problems like squint
- Optometrists diagnose early the presence of eye diseases, offer counselling services on preventive eye and vision care and collaborate with other health disciplines including ophthalmology, neurology, internal medicine and other health sciences.
All optometrists provide general eye and vision care. Some optometrists work in a general practice, and other optometrists work in a more specialized practice such as contact lenses, geriatrics, low vision services (for visually impaired patients), occupational vision (to protect and preserve workers’ vision and minimize eye strain), paediatrics, sports vision or vision therapy, Optical outlet. Others may choose to enter optometric education and/or perform scientific research.
- Optometry is a rewarding and interesting career that gives an opportunity to provide important healthcare services to your patients.
