Certificates are mainly issued by two departments, one is issued by the health department, which is mainly applicable to ophthalmologists in hospitals, and the other is issued by the labor department. Almost all optometrists in optical shops use certificates issued by the labor department. And now some institutions have correspondence courses that provide optometrist qualification certificates.
Optometrist is a special technical job in society, but it is a hot industry with extremely severe employment in Shanghai. At present, 75% of the glasses in the world are produced in China.
Optometry is a specialized technical activity. An optometrist is actually half an ophthalmologist and half an optical engineer. In the process of optometry, he can understand the causes of abnormal visual function and decreased vision of patients with visual impairment, and judge whether he can diagnose the visual impairment caused by ametropia or eye disease during optometry, which is impossible for a single computer optometry.
Optometrist: Check whether the refractive nature of the patient's eyes is emmetropia, hyperopia or myopia, measure the diopter, evaluate and analyze the tertiary visual function, and then decide whether the patient needs glasses and how many pairs of glasses to wear, and prescribe a reasonable optometry prescription. When strabismus amblyopia or abnormal visual function occurs, guide vision rehabilitation training and other work items.
Work content: 1, check the refractive properties of patients' eyes; 2. Test the eyesight and diopter of patients' eyes, and make qualitative and quantitative analysis of visual function, as well as general eye examination. 3. Use optometry equipment to test spectacle frames and lenses, detect eye diopter, make quantitative analysis of tertiary visual function, prescribe reasonable and effective optometry prescription, and guide myopia prevention and control, strabismus and amblyopia rehabilitation training. 4. The spherical lens combination, optical center movement, prism and contact lens are numerically calculated and photometric conversion is carried out. 5, maintenance, maintenance, calibration instrument; 6. The fitting of hard (soft) RGP and SCL contact lenses can guide patients how to wear contact lenses and corneal plastic lenses correctly. 7, myopia prevention, strabismus, amblyopia training guidance; 8, to help patients understand the relevant knowledge of eye protection.
