Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: This review seeks to provide an overview of the significant advancements shaping the field of optometry, driven by innovations in optical technologies, eyewear, contact lenses, public health initiatives, and scientific research. It highlights the impact of advanced diagnostic tools like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and wavefront aberrometry, as well as innovations in eyewear such as blue-light-blocking and photochromic lenses. Additionally, it explores the role of speciality contact lenses, including orthokeratology and myopia control lenses, in addressing a variety of vision needs. The abstract also emphasizes the growing focus on preventive care within public health, facilitated by tele-optometry and mobile health applications. Finally, it stresses the importance of bridging the gap between laboratory research and clinical practice, demonstrating how these innovations contribute
