Optometrist
Duties and
Responsibilities:
They treat vision problems. They treat
the problems by diagnosing the problems and they then prescribe corrective
lenses, 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 cannot write medical prescriptions, treat diseases, or perform surgery.
Average
Salary: $78,000
Educational
Requirements:
Students who wish to become an
optometrist should take challenging high school courses available in math,
science, and English. They must also attend an Optometry school which takes 4
years. After obtaining the degree of Doctor of Optometry, they must pass state
exams before beginning their practice.
I would like
to be an Optometrist because it does not seem like a very demanding job for the
amount of money you can receive annually and I believe eyes are interesting to
work with.
