Optometrist

Duties and responsibilities:

Optometrists examine patients' eyes, test their sight, give advice on visual problems and prescribe and fit spectacles or contact lenses when needed. They are trained to recognise diseases of the eye, such as glaucoma and cataract, as well as general health conditions such as diabetes. They refer patients to medical practitioners when necessary, as well as sometimes sharing the care of patients with chronic conditions

Average Salary:

$78,000

Education:

Students seeking to make a real difference will find no better career than optometry. Only one degree qualifies you to become an optometrist:  the Doctor of Optometry (O.D.), a four-year, doctoral-level degree. While concentrating primarily on structure, function, and disorders of the eye, students in a professional O.D. program will also take courses in human anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology, among others, to prepare for their role as primary-care doctors protecting patients’ overall health and wellness.

Reflection:

I would not like to work as an optometrist because I want to work somewhere else, more like an electrician.
