If you have conditions like glaucoma or retinal problems, specially trained optometrists can monitor and manage your eye health locally. If you’re suspected of having these conditions, these experts can assess your case and refer you to the hospital only if further specialist care is needed.
This approach ensures that you receive the right care in the right place. Those who need hospital treatment are referred promptly, while others can continue to be managed conveniently in the community, saving time and avoiding unnecessary hospital visits.
