EXPLORE A HEALTH PROFESSION: OPTOMETRY
Doctors of Optometry (ODs) are independent primary health care professionals for the eye. Optometrists examine, diagnose, treat, and manage diseases, injuries, and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures as well as identify related systemic conditions affecting the eye.
The care that an optometrist provides varies from prescribing glasses and contact lenses, to treating diseases such as glaucoma and retinopathy, to performing minor surgical procedures and providing pre- and post-operative care to patients who are undergoing ophthalmologic surgery.
