You should consult an optometrist about optometry. Doctors learn medical knowledge at school, but know little about optometry. Optometrists learn comprehensive optometry knowledge at school, and what they learn is aimed at optometry glasses.
Optometry is a technical industry, which belongs to the field of ophthalmology. This major is divided into junior college and undergraduate course, and this major is a person who has really mastered the knowledge of optometry.
At present, people engaged in optometry can be divided into four categories.
First, I have learned nothing. I only use computer optometry and add and subtract lenses for optometrists.
Second, the initial training of crash personnel, such people have limited knowledge, are not in-depth, simple, slightly difficult, and can't get on or off.
Third, doctors optometry, some understanding of optometry, but not deep, the level should be similar to that of ordinary optometrists. But I know a lot about eye structural ophthalmopathy. What I'm talking about here is a real ophthalmologist, and ordinary doctors know less about eyes.
Fourth, the optometrist optometry. In fact, optometry is the knowledge learned by the specialty of "Ophthalmology", including the structure of eyeball, the function of eye tissue, and the identification of eye diseases. The most important thing is to learn optical knowledge, concave lens, convex lens, cylindrical lens, prism, imaging law, binocular coordination ability and so on. They all study for optometry, and they can be said to be the people who know optometry best. Their focus is optometry, and such people come out and call optometrists. The study content is relatively in-depth, especially the first-class optometrist must know all the optometry knowledge, especially the difficult optometry knowledge, and must have the process of writing and defending the thesis to pass.
Many operations of optometry must require optometrists to understand the principle before they can operate. If they don't learn well, some projects can't be done. A low-level technician can't understand high-level things, for example, just as a primary school student can't be a junior high school student's topic.
If the eyesight is not difficult, most people can check it out, but the accuracy is hard to say. If the eye condition is complicated, you must find an optometrist to solve it.
But now some hospitals gradually have people who have obtained the qualification of optometrist to do optometry.
It is recommended to find a local optometrist with a high professional level of optometry, not a doctor with a background other than this major, because doctors are not very proficient in optometry, and optometry is an optometrist's specialty. It is best to find a doctor with high technical level, deep understanding, less than half of the study, and who has not graduated from optometry. And the level of technology.
The grading of optometry is as follows:
I/ senior technician
II/Technician
Level 3/Advanced Skills
Level 4/Intermediate Skills
Level 5/Basic Skills
Grade one and grade two are real optometrists, followed by the word technician, grade three, four and five are optometrists, followed by the word skill.
Let's look for it locally.
