Optometrists use many types of evidence to answer patients' questions. They draw upon knowledge learned in their OD programs; examine a patient's history, symptoms, and signs; and refer to medical textbooks or clinical guidelines.
Sometimes, however, you may encounter a clinical question that is not so easily answered. In these cases, we recommend using something called evidence-based optometry.
