Your Optometrist Will See You.
Optometrists provide comprehensive eye care including triage and management of ocular diseases. They examine the tissues and structures of the eye, checking for eye diseases, retinal detachments and tears, optic nerve disorders, tumours, and ocular complications from medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or auto-immune disease. Since optometrists can view multiple tissue types non-invasively, they are often the first to detect signs of early systemic disease.
Without early detection and proper treatment, many eye diseases can cause unnecessary and permanent loss of vision.
