What types of technology do optometrists use?

Optometrists use a variety of technologies to assess and treat vision problems. Common tools include digital phoropters for refraction tests, retinal cameras for capturing detailed images of the retina, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for cross-sectional imaging of the eye. They also utilize visual field analyzers to test peripheral vision and advanced diagnostic software to analyze data and track changes in eye health over time. Additionally, some optometrists may incorporate telehealth platforms for remote consultations and follow-ups.
