Practicing Integrative Optometry: Seeing Beyond the Eyes

In today’s environment, where the prevalence of chronic eye problems is increasing, Optometry faces a need for novel approaches that go beyond symptoms. Dr. Shajer underlines that integrative Optometry bridges this gap by addressing not only ocular symptoms but also the underlying causes, taking into account each patient’s lifestyle, nutrition, mental well-being, and other health concerns.

Practising Integrative Optometry envisions a future in which Optometrists can go beyond symptom-based treatment to promote overall wellness. This book is both a practical guide and an inspiration, encouraging practitioners to raise their standards of care and actively shape the changing area of healthcare. Dr. Shajer uses integrative Optometry to demonstrate how treating the eye in harmony with the body leads to long-term, preventative vision treatment that benefits patients’ eyes and overall quality of life.
