    Area of Science:

    • Optometry and Vision Science
    • Ophthalmic Education

    Background:

    • Current optometric education must evolve to meet future public and professional demands.
    • The fields of eye problem prevention and vision enhancement are critical areas for development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the urgency of incorporating prevention and enhancement into optometric education.
    • To advocate for expanding optometry's role through specialized training.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of optometric education's scope.
    • Review of the definitions and implications of 'prevention' and 'enhancement' in vision care.

    Main Results:

    • Prevention and enhancement represent crucial, yet underexplored, domains for optometric practice.
    • Integrating these objectives can significantly broaden the scope and impact of optometry.

    Conclusions:

    • Optometric education must adapt to include prevention and enhancement to ensure professional growth.
    • Embracing these specialized areas will solidify optometry's vital public service role.
