Optometrists are primary care practitioners for all vision and ocular health concerns. They are trained to diagnose, manage, and treat a multitude of visual and ocular health-related concerns, including, but not limited to, fitting and prescribing spectacles and contact lenses, treating minor ocular injuries, diagnosing and treating diseases such as glaucoma and diagnosing others such as diabetic retinopathy. In Oklahoma, optometrists have successfully lobbied for legislative rights to perform certain laser procedures.

A common misconception is that optometrists only prescribe corrective lenses. While they are experts in determining one's refractive error and prescribing the appropriate correction, they should also be considered the gateway into eye care in the U.S. for almost any eye problem. Optometrists perform comprehensive eye exams and in most cases are capable of diagnosing and treating many of the most common eye disorders whether it be visual or physical. When warranted the appropriate referral is made to a more specialized practitioner.
