changes. Medical management of ocular disease has
been enhanced with new medications. Providing impact resistant lenses
for children will ensure safe and clear vision for many years to
come. Durable and flexible ophthalmic frames are essential when
wearing new prescription glasses. The process of answering which

and computerized letter charts. Digital imaging of the retina and
detailed mapping of peripheral vision can be generated with the
use of cutting edge technology. New contact lens materials enable
patients to enjoy wearing their contacts during the day. It is clear
to see the influence of technology on a profession such as Optometry.
