Optometrist
Duties and Responsibilities: Optometrists treat vision
problems. They treat vision problems by
diagnosing the problem and then prescribing corrective eyeglasses, contact
lenses, or vision therapy. Some optometrists specialize in industrial vision
safety, treatment of vision related learning disabilities, and environmental
vision care. Unlike ophthalmologists
they are not physicians and may not write medical prescriptions, treat
diseases, or perform surgery.
Salary: 78,000
Educational Requirements: Students interested in becoming an
optometrist should take the most challenging high school courses (AP or IB)
available in math, science, and English. Before entering an optometry school at
least two years of college in a pre-professional program is required.
Reflection: I would enjoy being an Optometrist
