Optometrist



Optometrist

Duties and Responsibilities:
Optometrists are doctors of vision. They examine people’s eyes to diagnose vision problems and eye diseases, and they test patients’ visual acuity, depth and color perception, and ability to focus and coordinate the eyes. They prescribe glasses and contact other doctors to provide vision therapy.

Education: The Doctor of Optometry degree requires the completion of a 4-year program at an accredited optometry school, preceded by at least 3 years of pre-optometry study at an accredited college or university. Most optometry students hold a bachelor’s or higher degree.
