Your Independent Doctor of Optometry,* as well as the technicians and assistants who provide support, should make your eye exam experience easy and straightforward.Who Does What?
An optometrist is a state-licensed healthcare professional who examines, diagnoses, treats, and manages diseases and disorders of the visual system. Ask your Independent Doctor of Optometry* to explain the process throughout your experience, and answer any questions you might have.
The optometrist typically will provide:
- Vision correction
- Eye care
- Identification of vision problems
- Contact lens fitting
- Management of eye diseases
- Diagnosis of related systemic conditions
If you have other eye problems, the optometrist also might treat (or refer you for further treatment for) eye infections, red eyes, or dry eyes.
