The premise of this post is that (most?) optometrists are ‘doing it wrong’ - so is there any way for a layperson to vet the quality of an optometrist beyond their basic credentials?
- goldenkey 4y agoMost optometrists are fine when it comes to diagnosing eye health. They have equipment that largely aids them in those diagnostics. For myopia, there's really not much you can do other than ask them their approach to vision correction. For example, do they recommend multiple pairs of glasses for different activities? If they don't, you can immediately cull them or you can use them as a service and give them instructions. Doctors ultimately serve you, and if you want a couple scripts, minor corrections removed, etc. these aren't groundbreaking demands they'll reject.
