In addition to prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct vision, optometrists also diagnose and manage various eye disorders and diseases. They provide treatment for conditions such as dry eye syndrome, eye infections, allergies, and inflammation. Optometrists may also co-manage pre- and post-operative care for patients undergoing refractive surgery, cataract surgery, or other eye surgeries. With their expertise in both vision correction and eye health, optometrists play a vital role in promoting overall well-being and quality of life through optimal eye care.
