Optometrists examine eyes and test sight to detect and measure defects if any, to determine visual efficiency and performance, disease, or other abnormalities through observation and with the aid of instruments. Following examination, optometrists prescribe corrective procedures to safeguard, improve, and correct vision through the use of spectacles, contact lenses, low vision aids, appliances, vision therapy and control of vision environments. In case patients need medical aid and advice, optometrists refer them to ophthalmologists.
