QUESTION 32 OF 45
Why optometry vs. another health field?
The interviewer is interested in why you chose optometry instead of another medical profession. Describe what motivated you to become an optometrist and explain how you came to that decision. It could be that you want to make a difference in a patient's vision, that you are fascinated by eyes and ocular research, or that you want to serve the less privileged by providing vision screenings.
"I chose optometry instead of another medical profession because optometry is a field where I could specifically make a difference in a patient's vision and quality of life. I am fascinated by ocular research and the advancements that have been made over the years."
