Los \u00f3pticos se centran en ofrecer la mejor adaptaci\u00f3n de muebles, lentes y filtros para personalizarlos a los par\u00e1metros fisiol\u00f3gicos \/ caracter\u00edsticas de los pacientes. La optometr\u00eda moderna implica <strong>evaluaci\u00f3n, diagn\u00f3stico, formaci\u00f3n y gesti\u00f3n intensivos<\/strong> de los errores de refracci\u00f3n y las disfunciones visuales. Sin embargo, al tratarse de una profesi\u00f3n regulada, el \u00e1mbito de actuaci\u00f3n de un optometrista puede variar en funci\u00f3n del lugar, lo que podr\u00eda dar lugar a errores.<\/p>\n<p>Por ejemplo, en el Reino Unido, aunque la optometr\u00eda se convirti\u00f3 en una profesi\u00f3n regulada hace 60 a\u00f1os, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aop.org.uk\/ot\/in-practice\/business-management\/2018\/06\/08\/i-am-an-optometrist\">profesionales se quejan de la continua derogaci\u00f3n<\/a> del t\u00e9rmino optometr\u00eda. Al parecer, \"\u00f3ptico\" se utiliza a menudo para englobar todo lo que tiene que ver con la salud ocular. Un buen ejemplo de ello es el Consejo General de \u00d3ptica, que es el regulador de dos profesiones como son los \u00f3pticos dispensadores y los optometristas, siendo s\u00f3lo el \u00faltimo un t\u00edtulo protegido.<\/p>\n<p>Pero vayamos al grano. Estas son, a grandes rasgos, las diferencias entre \u00f3pticos, optometristas y oftalm\u00f3logos:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00d3pticas<\/strong>Est\u00e1n especializados en la fabricaci\u00f3n y adaptaci\u00f3n de lentes oft\u00e1lmicas, gafas, lentes de contacto y pr\u00f3tesis oculares. La prescripci\u00f3n de estas lentes debe hacerla un profesional regulado, como un oftalm\u00f3logo o un optometrista.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oftalm\u00f3logos<\/strong>Son m\u00e9dicos que se ocupan de la anatom\u00eda, la fisiolog\u00eda y las enfermedades del globo ocular y la \u00f3rbita. Prestan una atenci\u00f3n oftalmol\u00f3gica integral, que incluye cuidados m\u00e9dicos y quir\u00fargicos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optometristas<\/strong>son los principales profesionales sanitarios del sistema visual que proporcionan una atenci\u00f3n ocular y visual completa, que incluye la detecci\u00f3n\/diagn\u00f3stico y rehabilitaci\u00f3n de afecciones o disfunciones del sistema visual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dicho esto, para cualquier problema visual relacionado con la visi\u00f3n, como el seguimiento ocular, el enfoque ocular, la alineaci\u00f3n ocular, etc. <strong>podemos elegir un optometrista para el cuidado de la vista<\/strong>. Nos proporcionar\u00e1n un diagn\u00f3stico, pero tambi\u00e9n la terapia adecuada para mejorar nuestros problemas de funci\u00f3n visual. La visi\u00f3n puede mejorarse a menudo mediante lentes, pero no siempre. Los optometristas pueden proporcionarnos la formaci\u00f3n adecuada para mejorar las disfunciones visuales, pueden recetarnos las lentes que posteriormente podremos adquirir en una \u00f3ptica, o pueden m\u00e1s bien remitirnos a un oftalm\u00f3logo cuando sea necesario un tratamiento quir\u00fargico del ojo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Optometrists often work closely with other eye care professionals such as ophtalmologists and opticians to deliver eyecare In general terms, ophthalmology involves intensive medical diagnosis and management by drugs and\/or surgeries of ocular diseases.
