Beyond 20/20 – The Difference Between Optometry and Neuro-Optometry – It’s not just about the eyes—it’s about the brain. This webinar explores the key distinctions and vital overlap between general optometry and neuro-optometry. While each field has a unique focus, they are deeply complementary, with neuro-optometry building upon the foundations of general optometric care. The presentation highlights the importance of collaboration and appropriate referral pathways to ensure optimal patient outcomes. By clarifying these differences, practitioners can reduce the risk of misdiagnosis and better support effective visual rehabilitation—particularly as neurologically based visual challenges become increasingly common.
