Hi guys I am in dental school right now and I am mid way through my first year. I am considering going into omptometry instead. I was wondering If I could get some feed back thanks.

New SDN Article! Occupational Therapists: An Overview
Intriguing... do you think you could share more information with us about your consideration? What made you decide optometry AFTER dentistry? This would help me out a lot personally by the way.jpn123 said:

I FEEL THAT MY HAND SKILLS ARE NOT UP TO PARR AND BEING EFFECTED WITH SEVERAL EYE SURGERIES MY EFFORT AND TIME WOULD BE BETTER IN A PROFESSION WHERE HAND SKILLS ARE NOT SO IMPORTANT. I AM IN A GREAT SCHOOL HOWEVER I AM HAVING SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT MY SKILLS.jlaha said:
Although minor hand movements are not as vital in optometry and they are in dentistry, you still use them quite often; forign body removal, punctal irrigation, epilation, cyst expression...
These are things you could refer out, but they are pretty easy to do. I don't have any real advise, I just wanted to make sure you know it is not all, "1 or 2." Good luck, I hope you make a decision right for you.
