Optometrist Jobs in Phoenix, AZ

An Optometrist is a key professional in the optometry field, responsible for diagnosing and treating visual disorders and ailments. They conduct thorough eye exams to assess a patient's visual acuity and depth perception, as well as identify any potential eye diseases such as glaucoma or cataracts. Optometrists are also equipped to prescribe corrective lenses or spectacles and provide advice on proper eye health management. In some cases, they may also participate in pre or post-operative care for surgical patients.

Important skills for an Optometrist include excellent attention to detail, strong analytical thinking, and good hand-eye coordination. They must also possess strong communication skills to explain complex medical information to patients. To practice, Optometrists need a Doctor of Optometry degree and must be licensed in their practicing state, which involves passing the National Board of Examiners in Optometry exam. Prior to becoming an Optometrist, a person may have roles such as an Optometric Technician, Optician, or Vision Therapist to gain practical experience and knowledge in the field.
