Failure to test for glaucoma is a leading cause of malpractice claims against optometrists. The standard of care expected of optometrists has been influenced by legal decisions involving ophthalmologists, beginning with Helling v. Carey, and has resulted in the routine use of tonometry as a fundamental aspect of glaucoma detection by optometric clinicians.
