What Does an Optometrist Do? - Virtual Career Day

This video was made for Ozark Adventist School’s career chapel that was canceled due to the caronavirus outbreak. I hope this is helpful to all of you young people who are wanting to learn more about different professions. Enjoy!

My confusion with choosing a career has finally led me here and I can say this sounds interesting 🧐

I’m a current optometric technician, and I love everything in this video. Everything is straight to the point, and actually details why we look at what we look at with the eye. I’m looking at becoming an optometrist, and I highly anticipate my future endeavors.

I feel obligated to share my experiences. Optometry was good to me and my family during my working years; however, those days are gone. I fear that idealistic graduates are walking out of schools ill-prepared for the reality of the employment/private practices. I have a son who is a commercial airline pilot. He earns, in salary/benefits/ about twice what an optometrist makes. He had to work his way from small commuter airlines but at least he was not going to school and incurring mounting debt. Never discount the value of " employee benefit packages"... typically optometrist are not offered benefit packages... buying single person health care is very costly. I regret sounding like Negative Nancy, but I think perspective students must realize they are being fed a picture of a world that does not exist outside of academia.

Thank you for this!!! It really made my mind up for me for the most part… I have always had eye troubles growing up, and I have always been fascinated to know what is going on with someone’s eyes in certain circumstances. So thank you for the educational video!

I have an in-person shadow appointment tomorrow and I'm even more excited to watch these opticians work in action! Loved the video, you made this very very fun and I'm I couldn't be happier to be joining this career field.

[flanagamer]

Ugh, I want to be an optometrist so bad but I feel like o-chem and physics in college are gonna kill my GPA 😢

interesting to see the difference between optometrist from the US and from my country. You seem to do more things that eye doctors do here.
