Abstract: Forensic optometry is a specialized field that utilizes ophthalmic expertise in the context of criminal and legal inquiries. This review article investigates the diverse applications of optometry within the realm of forensic science, encompassing the assessment of visual deficiencies, analysis of spectacle lenses, and interpretation of optical evidence at crime scenes. This review highlights the instances in which forensic optometry has proven pivotal in the identification of suspects, the reconstruction of incidents, and the provision of expert testimony during judicial proceedings. Furthermore, it examines emerging technologies such as biometric identification and sophisticated imaging methodologies, which are augmenting the precision and breadth of forensic investigations. The significance of forensic optometrists engaging in interdisciplinary collaboration with law enforcement, forensic specialists, and legal practitioners is accentuated as an essential element in the pursuit of justice within the contemporary legal framework.
