Optometry in the world, is on track to reach the fourth level of care provided by the WCO, universities must raise their academic level of training to transmit the necessary knowledge to approach the treatment of anterior ocular segment. The retina is a vital part of the visual process and if your primary care is not done properly, it is precisely at this point that optometrists can contribute quickly and timely. It doesn’t need more than 3 to 5 minutes to emphasize on the diagnosis of the retina. With help of a direct ophthalmoscope, we can look for the diagnosis, as ophthalmoscope being a basic tool we can not only give a primary diagnosis but can also do preventive work, without inflicting the laws in force, because we not only say but confirm optometry as the first barrier against blindness.
