The process of optometry involves many links. First of all, optometrists will collect patients' personal information to understand patients' vision problems and needs. Then, the optometrist will make accurate vision measurement and use specific measuring equipment and charts to evaluate the patient's vision. Next, the optometrist will check the diopter to determine the degree of myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism of the patient.
