The “Classification of specialties for secondary education” approved by Resolution No. 140 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan dated April 17, 2020 has been amended.
Publika.az reports that Prime Minister Ali Asadov signed a decision on this.
With the amendment, a new specialty was added to the group of health, welfare and service specialties in the “Classification of specialties for secondary education”. This specialty is optometry.
Note that optometry is a specialized health profession that involves the examination of the eyes and related structures for defects or abnormalities.
Optometrists are healthcare professionals who typically provide comprehensive primary eye care. They are medical professionals who specialize in the field of eyes and work to improve the quality of vision of patients with eye diseases. The profession of an optometrist is confused with an ophthalmologist. However, the two are very different professions. Optometrists are also qualified to recommend and sell contact lenses and glasses to patients. Optometrists often prefer to work in private practice.
The main task of optometrists is to improve the quality of vision. However, their duties are not limited to this.
