This is your chance to tell the interviewer what you like the most about working as an Optometrist. Try to keep your answer patient-focused, which shows that you care about your patients. You can mention how you enjoy helping patients see after having cataract surgery and how you are making a difference in the lives of others. If you have a personal story to share, the interviewer will be more likely to remember your answer.

"What I like most about being an Optometrist is watching a patient's face light up when they can finally see well after a surgical procedure or after being fit with glasses or contacts. As a child, I had vision problems and understand what it is like to see well for the first time. That is the most enjoyable part of my profession."
