Eye health
Eye health checks and visits for eye problems
When an eye is red, sore or irritated, or when you want an eye disease checked, the doctor sees you as a medical visit.
Optometrists examine eyes, check for eye disease and prescribe eye drops. If something needs a different kind of care, the doctor tells you and sends your records ahead.
