A day in the life of a domiciliary optometrist

The role of a domiciliary optometrist is not only challenging and varied but above all else, rewarding. In this article we will explore what could be involved in a typical day (if there is such a thing), as well as useful recommendations and advice to assist in the delivery of this essential service. To illustrate this we will explore a little background information before an account of a real life day.

In a later article we will discuss equipment to take on a domiciliary visit, some of which is required in the Additional Services Contract and some of which I consider helpful in my experience.
