How many hours a day/week does a typical optometrist work? Preferably one in private practice? Do they compare to dentists or physicians in this department? Thanks.
I can only speak for my optometrist - he works 3 days (27 hours) a week. The OD that works for him works about the same, I believe, but also works at another office part-time. He works beside a Pearle Vision, but he owns it and the building that he works in, so I guess that would be considered private practice?...
My OD is a farmer on the side, so while he's not in the office he's tending to his farm 🙂 (he's a goat breeder)
I think I average about 35 hours a week. I work 10-6 with a one hour lunch.
Damn! Thats good! And you work in commercial!
BTW, since you are commercial, I'm wondering: Do you get paid less because you work such few hours?
