Definitions and quotes

Optometry
Optometry is a health care profession which involves examining the eyes and applicable visual systems for defects or abnormalities as well as the medical diagnosis and management of eye disease. Traditionally, the field of optometry began with the primary focus of correcting refractive error through the use of spectacles. Modern day optometry, however, has evolved through time so that the education curriculum additionally includes intensive medical training in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease in countries where the profession is established and regulated.
Vision
There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
All You Need is Love, The Beatles John Lennon, Paul McCartney
Vision
Then purg'd with euphrasy and rue
The visual nerve, for he had much to see.
John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book XI, line 414.
Vision
The age, wherein he lived was dark; but he
Could not want sight, who taught the world to see.
John Denham, Todd's Johnson.
