An optometry office is a medical clinic where optometrists and professional medical staff measure the visual acuity of patients, diagnose defects or weaknesses in vision, and prescribe corrective aids such as eyeglasses or contact lenses. Consultation may also address laser vision correction.

This usage refers strictly to medical clinic facilities. Optometrists often work in stores that sell glasses and contact lenses; in this case the usage should be listed as an eyewear store rather than an optometry clinic. This should not be confused with ophthalmology, which focuses on treatment of eye-related ailments.

Vision measurement and corrective care define the clinic activity. The separate eyewear-store usage applies to the stated retail setting, while ophthalmology identifies specialist treatment of eye conditions.
