Who is an OPTOMETRIST?

Optometrists are trained to examine the eyes to detect defects in vision, signs of injury, ocular diseases or abnormality and problems with general health, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. They make a health assessment, offer clinical advice, prescribe spectacles, contact lenses, Low vision aids, and Orthoptics exercise. They may refer patients for further treatment, when necessary.

Optometrists study for at least three + one years and must participate in a period of assessed clinical training in practice, before being deemed to have the knowledge and skills needed to be registered. once graduated, they have the opportunity to take further qualifications and develop their interests in specialist areas of practice.

India has a proud tradition of blindness prevention, being the first country in the world to implement a blindness control programme which focused on a model to address blinding eye disease. However, with 133 million people blind or vision impaired due to the luck of an eye examination and provision of an appropriate pair of spectacles, it is imperative to establish a cadre of eye care professionals to work in conjunction with ophthalmologists to deliver comprehensive eye care. The integration of highly educated four year trained optometrists into primary health services is a practical means of correcting refractive error and detecting ocular disease, enabling co-managed cure between ophthalmologists and optometrists. At present, the training of optometrists varies from two year trained ophthalmic assistants/optometrists orrefractionists to four-year degree trained optometrists.
