What does an Optometrist do?


Optometrists are independent primary eye care providers. They are trained to examine, diagnose and treat disorders and diseases of the visual system, the eye and associated structures.

During an examination, doctors of optometry identify refractive problems such as myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness), and prescribe corrective glasses and/or contact lenses, but that is only a part of the examination. Optometrists also assess eye movements, the efficiency of eye teaming, and evaluate the accuracy and flexibility of the focusing system.

A detailed ocular health examination is also performed, including tests for any signs of disease such as glaucoma, cataract, and macular degeneration. Optometrists are often the first to diagnose such problems.

Marsh Optical accepts many health plans including Medicare, UFT Union and 1199 Union.

With the expanding scope of practice and their clinical training, doctors of optometry provide effective overall eye care.
