Key Point
  • An optometrist is the right person to give advice
    regarding the eye health as he or she has the
    basic training and skills to conduct eye
    examination, knows patients case history and case
    studies and provides guidance on eye care
  • Patients can visit an optometrist for yearly eye
    exam to get their eyeglass number checked and
    verified, get contact prescription or even get
    medicine and treatment for various eye conditions
    that can be handled without going to the surgeon
    or specialist
  • It is essential to understand that while the
    optometrist is a qualified and trained
    professional who can carry out examinations and
    prescribe treatment, he or she is not a surgical
    specialist and cannot treat particular eye
    conditions
  • Optometrists can also provide post-surgical eye
    care in many conditions and also guide the
    patients on how to take good care of their eyes
    for healthy and clear vision
  • It is important to find the best optometrist who
    holds the right degree, license to practice as
    well as has ample experience to provide the best
    advice to patients regarding visual care as eyes
    are very important and we cannot look forward to
    life without perfect vision
  • Patients suffering from various eye conditions or
    suspecting trouble in vision or other related
    problems can look forward to getting medical
    advice from the best optometrist in Kuwait who
    are highly skilled and trained and dispense the
    best advice for visual health
