I've be doing this for 25+ years and here's what I think
#1. if you are going to do 4 years post grad, why not go to med school ? more interesting, more money, more prestige.( there won't be any movies/tv shows where the optometrist is the hero).
#2. alot of optometry students (males esp) were med school rejects (I'm one of them)
#3. alot of your income is derived from selling product. glasses and contacts are generic products that alot of patients are getting online. remember that...
Reasons not to choose Optometry
