Hi all,

I was able to do administer some eye exams under the supervision of a physician and nurse while volunteering (just the basic looking at a chart with random letters on it from a distance). I wrote this as part of the description for an activity simply as administering eye exams. Question is, was this okay for me to do/write down on my application? I found some threads where people wrote down that they performed injections as a volunteer overseas which would not look good for adcoms, so I started to get worried. Maybe I'm just being neurotic? Thanks in advance!

I did that with the Lions Club for years. It is basically pre-screening.

It's fine. I have done it before as a volunteer for a health fair.
 
Aye (heh), it's fine. Done them plenty of times as a volunteer under a doc who instructed me to do so.
