Hi Kass! Congratulations on being ahead of the game and exploring your career options. In regards to a pre-optometry major, I recommend picking on that helps you graduate in 4 years while hitting all of your pre-optometry required courses. You could also do a major that would supplement your future health care profession (I.e. business, communications, etc.) but understand that typically requires more than 4 years. Yes, optometry school is a mandatory requirement to be an optometrist in the United States.

Sounds like a wonderfully satisfying job, Dr. Ryan! I can see why you love optometry this much, it's a fascinating field, indeed!

I have been working in the clinical laboratory field for over 7 years, and currently working as a lab manager. My pay is pretty good (~100k) and it will exceed 120k in a couple years. My job is stable and I suppose my pay will get better will promotions, but I am just not sure whether I want to continue this management career. It is stressful and the end products of my department come from people that work under me, and I often feel that I have no direct control over what they do. I feel constant pressure from upper management with things that I often feel I have no control over. Even when I absolutely need time off I can't choose to work part time being in management. I am interested in pursuing optometry; I have always been, but I just couldn't find the right time to do so and ended up in my current job. I feel that having direct control over the end product (patient outcome) of my work and the ability to be flexible with schedule are excellent merits of being an optometrist. I am 31 now and am making the decision to apply for optometry schools. I feel that if not now, it will just be too late later. It is easy for me to commit to four years of school because I don't have kids or a SO. Many of my friends and family tell me I am making a mistake and that it doesn't make sense financially (though my first two and half years of optometry school will be free because this generous scholarship will be provided by a society that I am a member of). Lastly, I always hear that the profession is suffering from an oversupply of optometrists and there aren't many full time jobs. Your video seems to suggest that it really isn't the case, but it is still a bit concerning. This is a long comment, but I would like to hear what you think of my situation.

Hi Taylor! It sounds like you have a well paying yet stressful job that you don't see yourself at long term. I just did a video on the income potential of an optometrist and your future projections are right where the average OD salary falls. With this in mind, having the first 2 1/2 years of school covered would be INCREDIBLE (nice work on that) and I feel you'd be able to quickly pay down your loans for the other 1 1/2 years. Just like any career, optometry doesn't come without it's stresses or challenges but it's a great profession. Some areas have more optometrists than others so it would be smart to do some research on where you'd like to practice. Regardless, 31 is not too late to go to optometry school and if you feel this is your calling, why not!

I'm currently a first year Optometry Student. A lot of people think that Optometrist ask for 1 or 2 but we do so much more in the optometry practice. This is a great video on explain different things that we do as an Optometrist.

@RyanReflects

3 жыл бұрын

Reposted in case the comment on my other video wasn’t seen: All careers have pros and cons. Understanding each and how they’ll impact you personally and professionally is how to best navigate them. For the cons of being an optometrist, the retail aspect of the profession is a huge factor (some look at it as a con while others a major pro when it comes to generating income). Glasses and contact lens sales are continuing to see increased competition from online retailers but, in the vast majority of cases, these retailers don’t have the ability to provide high quality customer service. Personally, I enjoy practicing primary care and medical eye care. Since I’m a subleasing OD, I do not have control over the sale of glasses. On the note of the general public not respecting optometrists, those that command respect receive it. Provide the superior eye care to your patients and practice to the highest level and you’ll receive respect from those in your community.

Business or communication minors would certainly come in handy. Also, the best way to position yourself for practice ownership is to get a job at a local optometry office and learn from the experience of the doctors and staff that work there. The insight they can provide you is invaluable as there is a lot that goes into managing a practice that you won’t learn in optometry school.

I've been considering being an optometrist but I'm concerned about something, my eye sight. I'm only 17 but my glasses are very thick and my prescription gets stronger and stronger each year, when I don't use my glasses everything looks like blended colors but I can slightly see the shape of things. I've thought about getting contacts for the first time because I don't really like wearing glasses. Since my eye sight is so bad and I'm only 17 will it get to the point where it's so bad I won't get a prescription to be able to see clearly? I'm asking since I don't know much about how prescriptions work so I'm not sure if it's a possibility. Do you think someone like me won't be fit for this job? Since I know people have to see clearly to work in this field my worsening eyesight is making me worried because if I do take up this career I want to be able to do it for a long time. Any honest replies would be appreciated :)

@RyanReflects

It’s hard to make a clear assessment of your vision without a comprehensive eye exam. With that in mind, many optometrists have high prescriptions that have changed over time (possibly why they went into the profession). In the vast majority of cases, a high prescription does not mean you’re going to get to the point of not seeing clear enough to be an OD. So, without any context on your eye health and vision, I’d say you’d be a fine candidate for optometry. Regardless, your OD will be able to provide more personal insight. Hope this helps!

Depends on how you look at it. Salary is one component of a job and ODs income potential does vary by location. Prescribing contact lenses and glasses is part of the job.
