When answering an interview question about your greatest weakness, you always want to choose a weakness that will not prevent you from being chosen for the position but is relevant to optometry. You want to answer honestly, but choose a weakness that you have improved upon or are improving on. Give an example of what you identify as a weakness and explain the steps you have taken to make that weakness a strength. Always end with how the weakness turned into something positive.

"My greatest weakness is being a perfectionist. I want all of my patients to have the best treatment possible. I feel let down and can be hard on myself if a prescribed treatment is not as effective as planned. It does not happen often, but the few times it has, I was really discouraged and wondered what I could have done differently. However, I have come to realize that I am still treating my patients the best I can and that some things are out of my control even when I have done my best."
