In focus: Time for a closer look at refraction?

Dr Martin Smith is the kind of aspirational optometrist you might associate with OCT, therapeutic prescribing, glaucoma diabetes and working hand in hand with the hospital eye service. And you would be right, he does all of those things. While Dr Smith has studied long and hard to attain his additional title, and clinical skills, he is also blazing the trail for the development of refraction within optical practice.

‘We have been using the same sight test charts since they were invented by Snellen in 1862, I think it is time for technology to give us something better,’ says Dr Martin Smith.
