Optometry is a health care profession that involves examining the eyes and applicable visual systems for defects or abnormalities, as well as diagnosing and managing eye disease. Optometrists are healthcare professionals who provide primary eye care through comprehensive eye examinations to detect and treat various visual abnormalities and eye diseases. Being a regulated profession, an optometrist’s scope of practice may differ depending on the location. Thus, disorders or diseases detected outside the treatment scope of optometry (i.e. those requiring certain surgical interventions) are referred out to relevant medical professionals for proper care. Optometrists typically work closely together with other eye care professionals, such as ophthalmologists and opticians, to deliver quality and efficient eye care to the general public.
Amateur astronomy, photography, and golf are hobbies for Dr. Winberry Jr. He is also an active member of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA), President of the White Rose Motorcycle Club in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, and a field judge at local antique motorcycle shows in the United States.
