Doctors learn medical knowledge, mainly about the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The knowledge of optometry with eyes is just passing by, so I am not proficient in optometry.
At present, people engaged in optometry can be divided into four categories.
First, I have learned nothing. I only use computer optometry and add and subtract lenses for optometrists.
Second, the initial training of crash personnel, such people have limited knowledge, are not in-depth, simple, slightly difficult, and can't get on or off.
Third, doctors optometry, have some understanding of optometry, but not deep, and the level should be similar to that of ordinary optometrists. But I know a lot about eye structural ophthalmopathy. What I'm talking about here is a real ophthalmologist, and ordinary doctors know less about eyes.
Fourth, optometrists optometry, the learning content is relatively in-depth, especially when the first-class optometrist obtains this qualification, it is required to know all optometry knowledge, especially the more difficult optometry knowledge must be mastered, and there must be a thesis writing and thesis defense process to pass.
Many operations of optometry must require optometrists to understand the principle before they can operate. If they don't learn well, some projects can't be done. A low-level technician can't understand high-level things, for example, just as a primary school student can't be a junior high school student's topic.
If the eyesight is not difficult, most people can check it out, but the accuracy is hard to say. If the eye condition is complicated, you must find an optometrist to solve it.
But now some hospitals gradually have people who have obtained the qualification of optometrist to do optometry. Such people not only know medical knowledge, but also know optometry knowledge. They should be regarded as dual personnel, but they are still relatively rare at present. Some hospitals also specialize in optometry by optometrists, but most hospitals still use doctors to optometry and vigorously promote the word "medical optometry". Such a hospital must be an optometrist.
Whether the major is professional depends on the level of optometrists at that time, not hospitals or large optical shops. Many people think that optometry in large optical shops and hospitals is very professional, but it is not correct at all. Let me tell you why:
First of all, I want to tell you that if you want accurate optometry, you must go to an optometrist. The main direction of optometrists is optometry, and the knowledge about optics is the deepest, and the knowledge about eye diseases is that part.
The main direction of doctors is to see a doctor, and ophthalmologists are also good at seeing eye diseases, but they don't know much about the optical knowledge involved in optometry, and they just pass by when studying.
Therefore, many people in society think that optometry should be done by ophthalmologists. There is actually a misunderstanding.
Of course, there are also talents in some places. What do you mean? It shows that he has obtained the qualifications of both a doctor and an optometrist, but there are too few such people. In fact, it is a mistake for doctors to do optometry in more hospitals, which can be considered as offside. However, people don't understand that doctors always think optometry is better than optometrists. When doctors and real optometrists detect different results, they often think that doctors are right and optometrists are wrong, but the real situation is often the opposite.
This is the difference between a doctor and an optometrist. Let's talk about the optometry major between a large optical shop and a small optical shop.
People with certain social experience should understand the fact that they can really be big bosses, owners of big stores or chain stores. Their main characteristics are strong communication skills, strong marketing management skills and extroversion. However, people with this personality can't settle down to study, and as a result, their professional and technical achievements are definitely not ideal, and their technical level can't be very high.
This phenomenon is actually a common phenomenon. For example, people with good academic performance tend to be more ordinary employees when they grow up, while some naughty people with poor academic performance are just people who become big bosses when they grow up.
Some of these bosses attach importance to technology and hire high-tech optometrists to help customers optometry in the store. This kind of shop has good professional skills. There are also some bosses who don't pay attention to technology. In order to save employees' wages, they only recruit optometrists and don't recruit optometrists. Of course, this kind of shop is not professional and technical.
When it comes to technicians who have passed optometrists, they are often introverted people who like to study hard, are interested in technology and are willing to write some professional papers. Of course, it is easy for such people to obtain the qualification of optometrist, but they lack introverted communication and management skills and investment courage, which will cause such people to either work for big store owners to specialize in optometry technology or open their own stores, but they often open small stores.
You can analyze the above situation and see which stores are professional and which are not. Is the result completely different from what you think? ! !
So how can we tell who is a professional and who is not? In fact, there is a very simple method, that is, when optometry, let the optometrist issue his technical grade certificate, see the contents of the certificate clearly, and distinguish whether it is the party concerned.
The grading of optometry is as follows:
I/ senior technician
II/Technician
Level 3/Advanced Skills
Level 4/Intermediate Skills
Level 5/Basic Skills
Grade one and grade two are real optometrists, followed by the word technician, grade three, four and five are optometrists, followed by the word skill.
