OPTOMETRIST
My dream job. All the optometrists I know are badasses that look at eyes all day. They improve people's vision on the daily, prescribe glasses and contacts, look at the back of the eye and detect illnesses from retinal detachments to Diabetes
to brain tumors. They pick the most long-lasting, least invasive
medical treatments first and only refer for surgery if necessary. I have a great
optometrist. He pretty much saved my life.Optometrists make really good money and have the lowest divorce rate of all occupations. I'd become one if it didn't take 8+ years of school and only about 1 in 8 applicants are accepted into the 22 US schools :/

A person that chose, unbelievably, not to go to school until they are 35 in order to work as a doctor. Along with this, they must deal with ignorant
dumbasses that think they have no medical training, even though many schools teach the exact same classes to both. Upon
graduation, these people will usually work privately, and get to be their own boss eventually. Some will work in chain stores, but
take out really solid cash.
Example:
So are you an opthalmologist?
Shit no. I'm not an egotistical asshat, and with the 6 practices I own while those douches slave for their
HMO I make more money than one anyway.I'm an optometrist, not a boring self-important hospital company
knob polisher.

A
dentist that deals with everything related to the eye instead of teeth. Hated by his technicians and
assistants as they couldn't achieve the level of education he has.
Ophthalmologist hate him too as they are shocked that he could almost do everything they do except that he didn't have to go through five years of medical training.

Optometrists scope of practice extends from prescription of spectacles and contact lenses, to the medical treatment of ocular disease. Unlike an
Ophthalmologist, an Optometrist has a thorough training in pure and visual
optics; they are thus experts within the science of
refraction. Entrance requirements to Optometry are invariably high. Nevertheless salaries are high: £35,000 starting salary($70,000)with the future potential to double or triple this.

An eye care
technition whose scope of practice is limited by training to non surgical eye care in almost all of the United States. The medical eye care they are allowed to deliver is also restricted by training and law. Although they carry the title of "Doctor" in the United States, they do not in Europe. Optometrists are not
medically trained and the vast majority of the services they provide is treatment of refractive errors with glasses and
contact lenses.

A wannabe
ophthalmologist that couldn't get into medical school. Also,
predisposed to whining about his/her inadequecy and overall
uselessness. In turn, often tries to convince others that they are capable of performing procedures usually done by ophthalmologists.
