An optometrist can detect and manage a wide range of eye conditions, including:
- Myopia (short-sightedness)
- Hyperopia (long-sightedness)
- Astigmatism
- Dry eye syndrome
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts

Many eye conditions develop gradually and may not show symptoms early, which is why routine eye examinations are important.
