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 enviornmental vision care. Unlike ophthalmologists they are not physicians and may not write medical prescriptions, treat diseases, or perform surgery. Most optometrists are self-employed, however many work for hospitals, government agencies, optical manufacturers, or universities.

Salary: $78,000
Education: 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. Optometry school is four years in
length. After being awarded the degree of Doctor of Optometry,
optometrists must pass state exams before starting to practice.
Reflection: I think that a optometrist has a important thing to do because they take care of you and many people like to come to these types of things.
