What is a optematrist?

An optometrist is a healthcare professional who specializes in the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of vision problems and eye diseases. They provide services such as vision testing, prescribing corrective lenses, and offering management for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Optometrists also play a role in educating patients about eye health and preventative care. Unlike ophthalmologists, they do not perform surgery but can provide certain therapeutic interventions.
