Optometry Salary in Canada
Optometrists are medical professionals who provide primary eye care treatment and diagnosis. They also prescribe glasses and contact lenses, perform eye exams and tests, and offer preventative health care advice.
Optometrists can provide patients with a full range of vision services, including eye health education, treatment of eye diseases and conditions, development of vision correction techniques, contact lens fitting and management, removal of foreign bodies from the eye, minor surgery on the eyelids or conjunctiva (the membrane that covers the front surface of the eyes), as well as simple procedures such as removal of corneal epithelium (when it becomes abnormally thickened).
Optometrists should be familiar with all aspects of modern optometric practice as well as being competent in performing general tests for visual acuity (20/20 vision) and refraction (eye focusing ability). They also take photographs for record-keeping purposes or to document patient progress over time.
