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
The age, wherein he lived was dark; but he
Could not want sight, who taught the world to see.
John Denham, Todd's Johnson.
Vision
For sight is woman-like and shuns the old.
(Ah! he can see enough, when years are told,
Who backwards looks).
Victor Hugo, Eviradnus, IX.
Vision
For any man with half an eye,
What stands before him may espy;
But optics sharp it needs I ween,
To see what is not to be seen.
John Trumbull, McFingal (1775-1782), Canto I, line 67.
