right now i don't see myself doing anything else except intended optometry as a career choice. my main reason for choosing optometry is because my optometrist helped me out in my life more than anyone else has.....by this i mean quick imporovements in vision. i have terrible eyesight, and when i saw my optometrist and got glasses, i realized that this is what i want to do in life. i want to help out other people the way i was helped. i saw quick drastic changes, and i would be contributing to the commuity. i don't know if it sounds like a good enough reason to you, but i thought my personal experience should influence my ideas about what i would like to persue in the future. the reason i chose commnication as a major is because i feel that with any profession, communication is th key to sucess. i felt that i would give me a greater advantage when i actually work bc optometry revolves around patient care. what i was/am concerned about is will it be more difficult to get into opt. school without a science major. and i know it will mean me being n udergrad college longer bc of all the extra classes i have to be in. that concerns me a bit, but i feel i can do it.
can you please provide us with more info.
1. why optometry? (what motivated you to pursue this?)
and
2. could you see yourself doing anything else?
p.s I think not being a bio/health major puts you at an advantage b/c it shows you are a "well rounded" individual...but answer my questions first before we throw answers at you ok....
