How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better? Please include specific examples to illustrate this.

• Hygiene and safe handling procedures are extremely important when it comes to the practice of optometry, which is part of something that I learned for my independent component in order to teach patients how to put on contacts. Having cleanliness within the work force will prevent eye infections and diseases for the patients, as well as teaching them the safest and cleanest way to put on contacts. Most eye infectious come from improper use of contacts, which is completely avoidable with proper instructions and usage for contacts.
