Job Description

Apollo Tele health Services is looking for Optometrist to join our dynamic team and embark on a rewarding career journey

An optometrist is a healthcare professional who specializes in eye care and vision health
Optometrists are trained to provide comprehensive eye examinations, diagnose and treat various eye conditions, prescribe corrective lenses, and offer preventive eye care services
Here is an overview of the role and responsibilities of an optometrist:Comprehensive Eye Examinations: Optometrists perform thorough eye examinations to assess visual acuity, evaluate eye health, and detect any signs of eye diseases or abnormalities
They use various diagnostic tools and techniques, including visual acuity tests, refraction tests, tonometry (eye pressure measurement), and slit-lamp biomicroscopy
Prescription of Corrective Lenses: Optometrists prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
They determine the appropriate prescription based on the individual's visual needs and the results of the eye examination
Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye Conditions: Optometrists diagnose and manage common eye conditions such as dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis (pink eye), glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy
They may provide treatment options, prescribe medications, or refer patients to ophthalmologists for specialized care or surgical interventions
Management of Vision Problems: Optometrists help manage vision problems related to eye coordination, focusing difficulties, and binocular vision disorders
They may prescribe vision therapy exercises or recommend appropriate interventions to improve visual function and alleviate symptoms
Pre- and Post-operative Care: Optometrists work closely with ophthalmologists in providing pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for patients undergoing eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery or refractive procedures like LASIK
They monitor healing progress, manage potential complications, and optimize visual outcomes
Pediatric Eye Care: Optometrists specialize in pediatric eye care, conducting eye examinations for infants, children, and teenagers
They diagnose and manage common pediatric eye conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (eye misalignment), and provide guidance on visual development and proper eyewear
Referrals and Collaborations: Optometrists collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as ophthalmologists, primary care physicians, and opticians, for comprehensive patient care
They may refer patients for specialized treatments or coordinate care plans to address specific eye conditions or overall health concerns
Patient Education and Counseling: Optometrists educate patients about proper eye care, visual hygiene, and preventive measures to maintain good eye health
They provide guidance on the use and care of eyeglasses or contact lenses, as well as offer lifestyle recommendations to protect and optimize vision
To become an optometrist, one must complete a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited optometry school
This typically requires four years of postgraduate study following a bachelor's degree
