Description
The Optometrists Network educates the public about visual health and spreads the word about unique aspects of optometric care. The Network aims to help people find eye doctors who can help them, inform the public about their visual health care choices, and provide patient education. Additional aims include (1) connect optometrists with the people they serve and (2) increase communication and collaboration between optometrists, teachers, and therapists in the best interests of the patient and/or student. The Optometrists Network maintains an online doctor directory that gives immediate free referrals only. Doctors listed in this directory provide vision therapy.
