Optometry

Optometry is a healthcare profession that involves examining people's eyes and testing their vision. Optometrists are specially trained doctors that use special tools to look at the shape and health of someone's eyes, test how well they see, and prescribe glasses or contact lenses if needed. Optometrists can also check for problems in the eyes that could impact vision, like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
