Dermatology is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin, hair, and nail conditions. Dermatologists specialize in addressing a wide range of issues, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin infections, and skin cancer. They also offer cosmetic treatments such as Botox, chemical peels, and laser therapy to improve skin appearance. With expertise in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, dermatologists help patients maintain healthy skin, manage chronic skin conditions, and address aesthetic concerns, ensuring optimal skin health and appearance.
Optometry is the healthcare profession focused on the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of visual problems and eye conditions. Optometrists perform comprehensive eye exams to detect refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and prescribe corrective lenses such as glasses or contact lenses. They also diagnose and manage eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, and provide pre- and post-operative care for eye surgeries. Optometry plays a key role in preserving eye health, enhancing vision, and improving quality of life by ensuring clear, comfortable sight.
