Answer:

I would like to work in the field of optometry;

Explanation:

"When one looks at an object, before identifying it, that is, before knowing that it is a rabbit, an apple, a bird, a chair, etc., there have been several motor and sensory processes. From the areas of the thought or silent areas a sensory order is emitted in the form of an electrical stimulus which propagates to the motor area of ​​the cerebral cortex in the frontal lobe.From this area said stimulus is directed to the centers of the gaze located in the middle brain and From here, the impulse continues to spread to the oculomotor nuclei and through the oculomotor nerves reaches the extraocular muscles, rotating both eyes towards the object of interest, therefore a part of the vision process is motor (Santos May 2005)

My duties as a professional would be:

  •  Detect visual loss (first filter before ophthalmological examination).
  •  Develop vision studies.
  • Determine refractive visual disorders and propose their correction.
  • Provide visual therapy and reeducation.
  • Management of optical instruments.
