talk about any practical science experience or extracurricular things you do and how the skills you’ve developed form it relate to skills of an optom or optom student! I had zero optical work experience
I hoping to apply for optometry after the half term holiday. Would it be possible if I email my personal statement to you so you can have a look at it and let me know what you think?
Really just choose what ever is required for apply for the course (2 science subjects) and then a course that you enjoy. As long as you do well in all of them it should work out fine. There are a lot of physics in optom but you don’t need to do alevel physics at all!
One thing I’d like to add is if u want reduced offers then maybe do all 3 sciences so biology, chem, physics, maths or I think maybe physiology as well becusee doing all 3 sciences can get u reduced offer like at Aston university. Chekc the entry requirements for unis for optometry to get a better idea, ofc only choose subjects u liek and you think Ull be good at rather than forcing urself to do a subject for a reduced offer and have a miserable time studying it. Hope that helps!:)
I would recommend asking your school, but one that most people got and is used after university is Clinical Procedures in Primary Eye Care E-Book: Expert Consult: Online and Print by Elliot!
@@Chanbro4 well some unis do a prelim year (foundation for those who did not do the required alevels to get into first year), they may only require alevel biology out of the three. Please check UCAS for the unis that do this to find what best suits you.
ur so cool i only just discovered your page, just reinforced my confidence for applying next year :D
Thank you! Confidence is all you need ❤️
thank you, so much this really help me😊
That’s great!
was there any specific websites you used to get information about careers cause I'm struggling to find the right information?
You could look at indeed.com or the college of optometrists websites.
How do I write a personal statement without much work experience in general

All the best for application! I do not check personal statements personally but you could ask your tutor at school to check for you.
hey, what a levels would you recommend if considering optometry

@@bismahahmed8164I’ve checked some unis, most just say 2 sciences but I don’t know what to do for my 3rd A Level. Thanks for the help
hi khiara isabelle, i like your video ! any recommendation for the optometry text book ?
I would recommend asking your school, but one that most people got and is used after university is Clinical Procedures in Primary Eye Care E-Book: Expert Consult: Online and Print by Elliot!
So can I become an optometrist without doing science as major in high school
It depends on the uni requirements that you can find on the ucas website but their most important grades would be your alevels
@@khiaraisabelle I did Art's subjects for my Alevels. So does it means I can't do Optometrist

Hi Khiara Isabelle can I ask which uni u applied for
City London, Manchester, Aston, Anglia Ruskin, Plymouth
