Why did you choose Optometry?
I always knew I wanted to help others and be in the medical field, but didn’t know exactly where my place in the medical field was at first. After researching and shadowing, I landed on optometry, and I’m so happy I did. It is a joy to know I am able to help patients see their best and preserve their eyesight.
