What is an Optometrist?
Optometry is the Science of Visual Systems. World Council of Optometry (WCO) defines optometrists as follows:
1- “Optometrists are the primary healthcare practitioners of the eye and visual system who provide comprehensive eye and vision care, which includes refraction and dispensing, detection/diagnosis and management of disease in the eye, and the rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system.”
2- They are Primary/ Family Healthcare Practitioners of the Visual System who help in the provision of eye care in a given community working hand in hand with the consultants, local public, private, or NGO-based eye care delivery setups.
3- The Optometrists are qualified and trained for this function by undergoing an extensive 4-year program. These graduates need to be inducted into practical life by the provision of increasing opportunities of supervised hands-on exposure leading up to independent handling of patients, at a facility where the required human and material facilities exist.

Dry Eyes

Are cases of dry eyes rising due to the increased usage of digital devices in our daily lives? Some studies believe so. Many people with extreme cases are not finding relief even after carefully following their treatment plan.

Patients often complain that over-the-counter eye drops alone do not provide adequate relief, hence the search for additional remedies.

A few simple steps can help if you are in a similar situation.

1. Stay Hydrated - use phone reminders or sticky notes to drink more water!
2. Warm Compress - place a warm washcloth over your eyes for a few minutes.
3. Blink More Often - blinking naturally hydrates our eyes, be conscious of it.
4. Screen Breaks - Take frequent time away from your screens
5. Quit Smoking - Not only will your eyes benefit but your overall health will!
