This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in practicing ocular and vision care in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Imagine you can practice the 3 Os (Optical, Optometry and Ophthalmology) for patients who truly need eye care and who cannot advocate for themselves. This group of patients often gradually lose their eyesight and/or have eye infections unnoticed by staff or poorly treated by their nurses. They have a high rate of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, blepharitis, and a plethora of other eye diseases. These patients often greet you with a big smile when their eyeglasses are dispensed. We are equipped with portable OCT, fundus camera, B-scan, and visual fields to diagnose and monitor eye diseases.
