optometry  

Definition

  • In the 2003 standards for jail and prison medical care issued by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC), there is no specific standard for optometry. Yet, the NCCHC requires a full health assessment of all inmates entering the facility, which comprises a systematic review of all bodily systems, including inmates' visual needs.
