Description
The scope of optometry has dramatically changed since its legal development in the 1900's. It has expanded beyond vision correction by lenses to include methods for examining, diagnosing, and treating diseases of the eye, visual system, and associated structures and even identifying related systemic conditions. The purpose of this project was to determine what some of these techniques are and how they have transformed the profession of optometry. These findings illustrate what doctors of optometry do today and help predict the future of the optometry field.
