Quality signals to look for

A licensed optometrist should be willing to verify credentials and explain their diagnostic process clearly. Look for practices that provide written prescriptions and itemized receipts for all services, and that discuss treatment options transparently before proceeding.

Reputable optometrists welcome questions about their training, experience with specific conditions, and the technology they use for examinations.
