Morphology
optometry = optics (semi-transparent) = opto + metry
Built from 'opto-' (relating to sight) + the suffix '-metry' (measurement); the relation to vision is clear but the specific sense 'the profession/science of examining eyes' is not fully predictable from 'measurement' alone.
Etymology
Optometry comes from Greek parts opto- meaning 'sight' and -metry meaning 'measure'. So optometry literally means 'measuring sight', like a meter that measures length, and it is the work of testing eyes and fitting glasses.
