Vision Test: The Important Role Of Optometrists In Our Lives

About Me

I work for the transport department and in recent years, my main job has been to conduct vision tests for people seeking a driver's license. Some drivers who come to renew their licenses cannot read a single letter on the eye chart! It is usually a wake-up call for them to visit the optometrist. The joyful part of my job is testing drivers who return several months later after consulting an optometrist and finding that they pass the vision requirements with flying colours. My work has certainly alerted me to the importance of regular eye check-ups, so I have started this blog to highlight the very important role of optometrists in our lives. If you have an eyesight problem or simply want to know about a profession that improves the quality of life for millions of people, my blog should interest you. Thank you for looking around.
