What Is Optometry?
Doctors of optometry, the leaders in primary eye health care, help patients and their
families take the first step toward healthier eyes and healthier bodies. If a disease
or other conditions are detected, doctors of optometry can help navigate patients
to the right prevention plans or the next steps in official diagnosis and treatment.
