Any Advice and/or material suggestions?

[NeveStash]

I am currently a junior and am studying with hopes of becoming an optometrist. I was inquiring whether anyone could recommend any good study material in the mean time? I'm also an optician currently and enjoy reading anything eye related in my spare time at home. So perhaps if there was any material I could begin to read up on now, that would give me as much information and knowledge leading up to the point of going to optometry school I would be more than grateful.

If you're trying to advance your knowledge in preparation for [optometry school curriculum]: forget it and just wait until you start school. You don't need a leg-up on curriculum content, nor will any of this material make sense without perspective and context.
If you're trying to advance your knowledge about [optometry school or the field of optometry]: ASCO's http://www.opted.org/

If you are a whiz kid who is bored and has plenty of time and money who just wants to read stuff akin to reading wikipedia, you can also shell out several hundred dollars for Rosenfield's textbook (https://books.google.com/books/about/Optometry.html?id=dv2g8aOIhhsC), which I thought was a perfect read for the intro student that encompasses most of what one would learn in years 1 to 3. This book was my favorite text from my school's library when i read it my 2nd year of optom school.

But again I'd not worry about this and recede back to where you came from, so help you...

Great, thank you for the information and advice. I was unsure exactly of the type of options and information that were out there, so I do really appreciate your recommendations in regards to waiting for school.
