- Comprehensive Eye Examinations: Optometrists perform thorough eye examinations to assess visual acuity, evaluate eye health, and detect any signs of eye diseases or abnormalities
- They use various diagnostic tools and techniques, including visual acuity tests, refraction tests, tonometry (eye pressure measurement), and slit-lamp biomicroscopy
- Prescription of Corrective Lenses: Optometrists prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
- They determine the appropriate prescription based on the individual's visual needs and the results of the eye examination
- Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye Conditions: Optometrists diagnose and manage common eye conditions such as dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis (pink eye), glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.
- They may prescribe vision therapy exercises or recommend appropriate interventions to improve visual function and alleviate symptoms
