Optometry is a specialized field within healthcare focused on the examination, diagnosis, and management of visual and eye health issues. Optometrists are primary eye care providers, conducting comprehensive eye exams to detect refractive errors, eye diseases, and other vision-related conditions. They prescribe corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses, and may provide therapeutic interventions for certain eye conditions. Optometry revolve around ensuring informed consent for procedures, transparent communication with patients about their eye health, and navigating the ethical dimensions of marketing and selling eyewear. Optometry plays a critical role in preventive eye care, and ethical practices are fundamental in building trust and maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
