Visiting the optometrist is an important step in maintaining your vision and overall eye health. Many people may think an optometrist’s role is limited to providing prescriptions for glasses or contacts, but there is much more to what they offer. Here’s a comprehensive guide on what you can expect from a visit to the optometrist and how they can help address a wide range of eye care needs.

What is an Optometrist?

An optometrist is a licensed eye care professional trained to provide primary vision care, from vision testing and correction to diagnosing and managing various eye conditions. They hold a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree and are experts in assessing and treating refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They are also skilled in identifying eye health issues that may need further treatment or management.
