Clinical optics

Clinical optics is a branch of eye care that focuses on the examination, measurement, and correction of visual problems. It involves assessing how well your eyes see, diagnosing issues like refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism), and fitting corrective lenses such as glasses or contact lenses. Clinicians also evaluate eye health and may perform specialized tests to diagnose diseases. The goal is to improve or optimize vision and maintain overall eye health through precise measurement and appropriate correction techniques, ensuring clear sight and comfortable visual function.
