optometric
Concerning sight testing
Optometric means relating to optometry—the profession concerned with examining eyes and prescribing corrective lenses.
An optometric exam tests vision and checks for eye diseases.
Optometric care includes fitting glasses and contact lenses.
The term distinguishes the work of optometrists from ophthalmologists, who are medical doctors specializing in eye surgery.
