The Optometrist

The neighbourhood optometrist, equipped with specialized tools and a deep knowledge of eye health, guides a patient through a vision test. The classic "1 or 2" test, where the patient looks through a phoropter, involves comparing pairs of lenses to determine which provides clearer vision. As the lenses click into place, the optometrist asks, "Which is better, 1 or 2?" This process is repeated with "A or B," honing in on the perfect prescription. The optometrist's expertise ensures that each subtle adjustment brings the patient closer to optimal visual clarity.
