Optometrists examine, diagnose, and treat diseases and disorders of the eyes and related structures.
Optometrists are trained to treat a broad range of diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts and conditions such as nearsightedness and astigmatism. They prescribe glasses and contact lenses to correct patients' vision. Optometrists must complete a bachelor's degree as well as a four-year program to earn their doctor of optometry.
