Ophthalmology, also known as optometry, is a new interdisciplinary subject that combines modern optical technology with modern ophthalmology and uses the principles and technologies of modern optics to solve visual obstacles. It is a medical specialty with both classic traditional colors and modern high-tech characteristics. Scientific research focuses on vision research, including basic and clinical research on vision correction such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia, low vision, optical glasses, contact lenses and refractive surgery. Ophthalmic optics is the starting point and end point of ophthalmology. The relationship between them has always been the main object of ophthalmology research. Because eyes are much more accurate than high-end cameras.
