Perhaps i have a bit of prejudice here but it seems like optometry wouldn't be all that difficult of a profession. I mean you people do wonders, i wouldn't be able so see my monitor screen right now if it wasn't for optometrists. However, every time i have gone to an optometrist, it doesn't seem like they need to do that much to get you your prescription. They put some lenses in front of your eyes, ask which is clearer and you're on your way. From my prospective, it doesn't seem like a person would need over seven years of schooling to do it.
With that said, i'm sure i am wrong. There are no doctorates out there which are easy to obtain, so what am i not understanding about optometry? I'm sure i am not unique in my view. What is going on behind the scenes that people like me are not seeing, which makes this profession difficult?
