Optometrists can work at independent optometry offices, medical clinics and health stores to provide accessible diagnosis, treatment and referrals for vision-related issues. Their role is to inspect a patient’s eyes and perform a series of tests to identify issues with depth perception and clarity. They can provide basic treatments and vision therapy or refer patients to a medical doctor who specializes in eye care.
