What is the difference between optometry, an eye exam, and refraction?

Refraction is the process of determining a patient’s prescription (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism).

An eye exam refers to the full set of tests used to assess vision, including refraction.

Optometry is the broader field that includes eye exams, refraction, and binocular vision assessment.
