Description
Optometrists today are expected to practice beyond the old perception of only glasses and
contact lenses. The definition of a doctor of optometry, supplied by the American Optometric Association, covers the duties, capabilities and responsibilities of a modem optometrist. "Doctors of optometry are independent primary health care providers who examine, diagnose, treat and manage diseases and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures as well as diagnose related systemic conditions." Some optometrists practice every aspect of this definition everyday in their own practice setting. These individuals feel they received the training to not only perform refraction and fit contact lenses, but also "diagnose and manage diseases of the eye". These optometrists have the confidence and knowledge to treat as far as their law allows, including corneal ulcers, glaucoma, and using oral medications. |
