Optom
Optometry has definitely come to stay in Naija, Africa and the world @large. with the overwhelming geometric rate of blindness, visual handicap etc as a result of Cataract, Glaucoma, Refractive errors etc one can understand our position in area of visual health priority!
Our dear Ophthalmologists are too few @ in most cases under-trained to tackle the over-flow of patients with vision challenges.
I see a time coming when Optometrists would be placed in the front-burner in the issues of say, cataract extraction...we're effectively managing Glaucoma and other chronic ocular conditions!
All I can say's that Optometry is the solution of blindness in 21st century & beyond. Hence Optometrists, answer that clarion call.
Prepare yourselves professionally for the challenges ahead! Vision 2020 is a professional responsibility!
