What is a doctor optometry?

Doctor Optometrists, also known as optometrists or Doctors of Optometry (OD), are healthcare professionals who specialize in eye and vision care. They perform eye exams, diagnose vision problems and eye diseases, prescribe corrective lenses, and provide treatment for certain eye conditions. Optometrists also offer advice on eye health and may detect signs of systemic health issues through eye examinations. They are distinct from ophthalmologists, who are medical doctors that perform eye surgery.
