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.
The three "O"s in eyecare are: opticians,
optometrists, and ophthalmologists. The word optometrist
comes from the Greek roots, optos, meaning seen or
visible and metria, meaning measurement. An optometrist
means "one who measures vision." Oculist
is an old word for eye doctor that can refer to either
an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. An ocularist
is a technician that specializes in the fabricating
and fitting of artificial eyes.
