Pre-Optometry

“Optometrists provide full-scope primary optometric care. Their day can be quite varied and challenging. Patient interaction can include performing routine visual exams, removing a foreign body from the cornea, evaluating a child who is not performing well in school, fitting a contact lens patient, prescribing medication for glaucoma, providing follow-up care after refractive surgery, and/or fitting a patient who is legally blind with a magnifying device that enables the patient to read.” -NAAHP Fact Sheet
