Why can't computer optometry replace medical optometry?

There are many kinds of optometry methods, and the results obtained by each optometry method can't be said to be completely correct. We should optometry the same person in different ways, then cross-reference and analyze the results, and finally give a reasonable result, which is the closest to the real situation.

The results of computer optometry are interfered by many factors, including the adjustment caused by the close perception of human eyes, the precision of the computer itself, the temperature and humidity of the computer, etc., which will cause the computer results to be erroneous. Moreover, the computer can only check the degree mechanically, but it can't check other functions, such as vision balance, accommodation and assembly. These must be done manually. This is the reason why the results of computer optometry cannot be used as the basis for glasses.

Let's talk about medical optometry. The word medical optometry is also inappropriate, because it doesn't exist in professional textbooks, and it is not recognized, because it is unscientific. Because optometry is strictly optical knowledge, the human eye is a very precise camera, and optometry is actually a process of high focal length, which is within the scope of physics.

optometry is actually the knowledge learned by the major of "Ophthalmology", including the structure of eyeball, the function of eye tissues, the identification of eye diseases, etc. The most important thing is to learn optical knowledge, concave lens, convex lens, cylindrical lens, prism, imaging law, binocular coordination ability and so on. Their studies are all for optometry, and they can also be said to be the people who know the most about optometry. Their focus is optometry, and such people are called optometrists when they come out.

what doctors learn is medical knowledge, which is mainly aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The knowledge of optometry with eyes is only passing by, so they are not proficient in optometry.

However, the people in China are different from those in foreign countries. People in foreign countries know that ophthalmologists are needed for eye care and optometrists are needed for optometry, but most people in China think that optometry needs to be seen by a doctor.

opticians usually do optometry in optical shops, and doctors do optometry in hospitals. These two places rob customers. Later, I don't know who invented a term called "medical optometry" to attract customers. As a result, customers feel that there is the word "medical" in front of optometry, and naturally think that optometry should be seen by a doctor. In fact, there is no such name in optometry professional terms.

optometry is an optical problem. For example, just like a camera, whether the picture is clear or not is a problem of inaccurate optical focusing, which is an optical problem in a complete sense and has nothing to do with medicine.

In fact, general optometry is divided into many methods, including subjective optometry and objective optometry, with more subdivision, such as computer optometry, retinoscopy optometry, audition frame optometry and comprehensive optometry.

At present, optometrists can be divided into four categories.

first, I didn't learn anything, but only used computer optometry and added and subtracted lenses to optometry people.

Second, initially train quick-paced personnel. Such people have limited knowledge, and they can learn simply, but if they are slightly difficult, they will be mismatched.

Third, doctors know a little about optometry, but they don't know much about optometry. To be honest, their level should be similar to that of ordinary optometrists. But I know a lot about ocular structural ophthalmopathy. What I'm talking about here is a real ophthalmologist, and ordinary doctors know even less about eyes.

Fourth, optometrists learn optometry in depth, especially the first-class optometrists need to know all the optometry knowledge when they obtain this qualification, especially the difficult optometry knowledge must be mastered, and they must have a thesis writing and thesis defense process to pass.

many operations of optometry must require optometrists to understand the principles 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 like a primary school student can't be a junior high school student's topic.

If the eye is not difficult, most people can check it, but it's hard to say how accurate it is. If the eye condition is complicated, you must find an optometrist to solve it.

However, some hospitals are gradually getting optometrists. Such people not only know medical knowledge, but also know optometry knowledge. They should be called dual-material personnel, but they are still 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 hospitals must be doctors to optometry.

It is recommended to find a local optometrist with a high level of "Ophthalmology" professional background to give you optometry, not a doctor with a background other than this major, because doctors are not very proficient in optometry, optometry is an optometrist's strong point, and optometrists are the right ones. It is best to find someone with a high technical level, someone who knows a lot, someone who has not studied halfway, and a doctor who has not graduated from optometry. There are also levels of technical level.

the division of optometry levels is as follows:

level 1/senior technician

level 2/technician

level 3/advanced skill

level 4/intermediate skill

level 1/level 2 is the real optometrist, followed by the word technician, and level 3/4/5 is the optometrist, followed by the word skill.

go to the local area and look for it.
