One of the main duties of optometry medicine is to provide vision examination and optical services. Vision examination evaluates the patient's vision and eye movement through different detection methods and instruments to determine whether there are vision problems. If vision problems are found, optometrists will provide glasses, that is, according to the patient's vision defects, provide appropriate glasses or contact lenses to improve vision. By accurately measuring and adjusting the degree and curvature of lenses, optometrists can choose appropriate frames according to patients' needs, which can help patients get better vision to the greatest extent.
In addition, optometrists are also responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and lesions. They have diagnostic and nursing skills, and can accurately identify and manage various eye diseases such as cataract, glaucoma and retinopathy through fundus examination, corneal curvature measurement and eye movement test. They can also carry out eye surgery, such as cataract surgery and laser surgery, to provide patients with more comprehensive and professional eye treatment programs.
Finally, optometry medicine is also closely related to scientific research and academic education. Optometrists actively participate in scientific research, explore new diagnostic techniques and treatment methods, and improve the diagnostic efficiency and treatment effect of eye diseases. In addition, they also participate in the training and education of optometry students and other medical professionals, impart knowledge and skills, and cultivate more outstanding optometry medical professionals.
In a word, optometry is a comprehensive subject, which aims at preventing, diagnosing and treating eye diseases and vision problems. Optometrists provide comprehensive vision care and vision health services through vision examination, glasses, diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and scientific research on children's vision health, so as to provide better eye health for patients.
