I am worried that as an optometrist I will only know about the eye and not much else.
I hope optometry school is not 100% eye related. I want to be knowledgeable about other aspects of human body as well.
Do students learn about functioning of other parts of the body?
Do students learn about diseases that are not related to the eye?
Do students learn about drugs not related to the eyes?
If a patient asks me about a condition/disease or a drug that has nothing to do with the eye will I know about it. Since, patient medical history is considered before an eye exam I assuming this is all taught?
