An optometrist examines people's eyes, diagnoses vision problems and prescribes corrective lenses and other vision treatments. Although optometrists examine the eyes for glaucoma and other signs of disease, they are not medical doctors, and must refer patients to an ophthalmologist for certain treatments. Optometrists also look for signs of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension while performing eye exams. They can prescribe some medications, and manage pre- and post-operative care for patients who require opthalmic surgery.
