Thank you for this video! I’m a first Gen and 4th year student. I honestly had lots of concerns and uncertainty bc of COVID and I was unable to get more experience this summer. I’m also planning to take a gap year after I graduate, so this video reassured me in my decision.
I want to apply to optometry school however due to personal circumstance of clinical depression; I didn’t receive the best grades and some classes were repeated; should I just quit and find a different career?
If you want to be an optometrist, don't let that stop you! Think about shadowing a few optometrists in different settings to be sure it is what you want to do and work on your OAT exam, improving your scores, and application :)
Can you give someone a "prescription for eye glasses" without shining a flashlight in their eyes? The Optometrists in my city say they can't give me a "prescription for eye glasses" without shining a flashlight in my eyes. Is that true for your patients too? - Theodore Alexander Vegh
Greetings! Jennifier, really nice video! I was wondering if I can help you to edit your vidoes and create some highly engaging visuals and shorts out of them. I can see a lot of scope for imporvement in your content and I would love to share it with you. Also I did a whole analysis on your social media pages and prepared a personal strategy specifically for you only. Waiting for your positive response. Thanks.
As a retired optician I couldn't help but notice that you're not wearing glasses in any of your video's. So it's possible that you may actually have perfect eyesight and don't require glasses or that you're wearing contact lenses. Either way something we realized in our store was that when a patient came into our store they would almost always go directly to any of our opticians or optical assistants that were wearing glasses rather than those not wearing glasses. That was in part why we decided that everyone in our store should be wearing glasses when working. So those that didn't need glasses were fitted with non-prescription glasses. It also tends to increase glasses sales as well. on the glasses the employees were wearing and modeling. We even from only providing one new pair per year to a new pair every 4 months. So if in fact you have perfect vision I think your patient's would have more trust in you if you were wearing glasses yourself. Patients often feel that those that don't wear glasses don't really understand their issues as well as those that do wear glasses. If you're wearing contacts that's even worse because we all know that nearly everyone tends to abuse the way they over wear their contacts. Also remember that the store makes more money on the sales of glasses than they do on contacts. You're a very attractive young lady and by wearing glasses yourself you would also be providing self confidence to other young ladies that you're prescribing glasses to for the firs time that they can be every bit as attractive wearing glasses as you are. It's time for you to prescribe yourself with glasses.
Wow. That was a very thoughtful comment. Who knew there was so much psychology in the business of eye glasses? I knew of a Medical Doctor who always wore safety glasses just to protect his eyes from accidents. Maybe everyone should wear safety glasses to protect their eyes from accidents. - TAV ♥️🇺🇸🌎👍
@@elleinn a 4 year course with doctor in the title is a joke . Unless you can prescribe medicine you're not a medical doctor and unless you have done a phd you're not a doctor in the eyes of academia .
The job of an optometrist is to check eye health and prescribe medicine towards it AND to help find out the prescription of a persons eyes, honestly idk if you call them a doctor or not but they do prescribe medicine and study for 8-10 years before officially starting their career. Edit: also optometrists prescribe eye drops and pills for the eyes, just an FYI since you seemed confused as of what optometrist prescribe.

Umm why are optometrist calling themselves doctors. They have neither a doctorate or a MD . I know you worked hard but you are not a dr
Yes they do... It's called Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree

@@ScreenHackTV Optometrists prescribe medicine.
@@elleinn not in England and Australia . Maybe in USA its different. So they can prescribe pain killers , antibiotics like dentists , GPs, etc ?
