    Hi Akash,
    Optometry deals with the examination, diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases and disorders of the visual system. Optometrists examine eyes and treat vision problems, usually by prescribing eyeglasses or contact lenses, vision therapy, or rehabilitation programs. They diagnose eye diseases that need surgery and refer patients to ophthalmologists (physicians who perform eye surgery). Sometimes optometrists discover eye conditions caused by systemic problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, and refer their patients to other medical doctors.
