Eye Exam = Public Health

When most of us see this machine, glasses are what come to mind. However, the interesting truth is that Optometry is one of the leading physician practices in preventative health. Inside the eye is the only place where we can see the inner workings of the body without cutting anything open. This allows your Eye Doctor to really observe what's going on. It's no wonder that many chronic diseases frequently first observed in the eye.For example, Doctors can see signs of pre-diabetes by simply observing the blood vessels on your retina. This is health prevention. This is Public Health.
