optometric practice

Optometric practice involves the assessment, diagnosis, and management of vision and eye health. Optometrists perform comprehensive eye exams to check vision sharpness, eye coordination, and overall eye health. They identify issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts. If needed, they prescribe glasses, contact lenses, or medications. They may also detect systemic health problems, like diabetes or hypertension, through eye examinations. The goal is to ensure clear vision, optimal eye health, and early detection of potential problems, providing personalized care and advice to maintain good eyesight throughout life.
