Optometry listed as medical specialty

The occupation type for optometry is listed as "medical specialty" however this is not accurate. Optometrists do not go to medical school or hold an MD or DO degree. This is misleading and confusing to the general public. Titanfreemont (talk) 20:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Is it evidence-based?

Where's the "metry"?

There's plenty with regards to optometry as a medical practice and career, but not much with regards to the actual practice of measurement. For instance, what units of measure are used, and what do those units mean? How are they taken?

Should this page really be exclusive to the medical practitioners, without any regard to the taking of measurements themselves, with the title revised to "Optometry (medical practice)"? Should the "what" and "how" of taking these measurements really be moved to another page, with some disambiguation text on the top of each page, to make clear the distinction?

It appears that there's an educational interest that isn't being served, here. Can something be done about it, please? 108.7.205.216 (talk) 18:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
