Optometry is a rewarding career in many ways. A career in optometry offers a high income, tremendous potential of growth, job security, and a good working environment. It is virtually stress-free and is not physically demanding. The average income for optometrists is very good and has always outpaced inflation. There is prestige associated with this career. Optometrists are recognized in their communities as respected citizens and leaders. They can usually establish a flexible work schedule, one that provides ample time to enjoy a personal life that is as satisfying as well as a professional life.

Given the importance of vision to quality of life, many optometrists consider their jobs to be rewarding, as they are almost always able to restore or improve a patient’s sight. Optometrists have a pivotal role in primary health care of the eye. Optometry is a dynamic career with excellent opportunities for personal growth and achievement.
