Working Conditions:
Optometrists usually work in clean, well-lit offices and treatment rooms. They use hand-held instruments and operate vision-testing and measuring equipment, as well as other equipment, to fit and repair glasses. They also use computers and office equipment. There are no real physical challenges associated with the job.
I need to take my son to visit the optometrist. His teacher told me that he has been having trouble seeing in school. She thinks he needs glasses. I need to have my son's eyes examined to get his prescription, and then I can get him a cool pair of glasses. http://www.griffey2020.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great information. I've been thinking about going to school to become an optometrist, but I just want to make sure that I'll be able to handle the day to day bases. From what it looks like I don't think I'll have any problems with a schedule like this. How difficult would you say the schooling was?

gday. my names Kahan. and I am on my study path to become a Optometrist.
DeleteNow. to go any further. i need to tell you how Optometry is in australia.
in some countries like Canada, the USA, Ghana and now Australia; Optometrists Are considered Eye Doctors. Why? Because they must study 7 years. (3 years of a bachelor of science, and 4 years of a Doctor of Optometry) very similar (if not the exact same as studying medicine).
but some Optometrists Arnt Eye Doctors.
Some just complete a Undergraduate Bachelor degree. these usually range from 3-5 years. these Optometrists are the Majority in australia (75%) and are considered Health Practitioners.
Heres the difference: The Doctors of Optometry can do things that the Health care professionals can't such as:
prescribe medication, treat anterior Eye diseases (upto schedule 4 medications), diagnose Eye diseases and also get the title Dr. in front of their name.
please email me at k-bodur@Hotmail.com if you have any further questions, thanks. (also if you have any questions about medicine/becoming a doctor).

It sounds like the typical day of an optometrist is exactly what I would expect it to be! Not only can they prescribe corrective eye wear, but they can also check for diseases and eye problems that you might be having. I think it's important to see an eye doctor every so often, and I really should take my own advice about that. I haven't seen an eye doctor in years, so this year should probably be the year I change that. http://www.sdeyecare.ca/eye-services/
ReplyDeleteI have had really bad eyesight since I was a kid. I would only see an optometrist about once a year, and I didn't know what else they did all day. This article answered a lot of my questions. Hopefully they like their jobs and helping people see better. http://www.ashworthvision.com/about-us/
ReplyDeleteThis is just the information I was looking for about optometrists. I had no idea that these kinds of doctors could provide vision therapy. My sister has been thinking about becoming an optometrist. I wonder if she knows what the typical day for one looks like. I will have to show this to her. She will probably find it really interesting.

Thank you very much for sharing this information. I'm worried that there is something wrong with my son's vision, so I'm trying to do some research on optometrists. I know that I need to make an appointment for him, I would just like to know what to expect at an optometrist's office.
