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.
