- Optometry || Why I choose optometry and what optometrist do!
Hi loves! One of my most frequently asked question is why I choose optometry, why someone should pursue optometry, and how does it stand out compared to other profession. I figure i'd make a video explaining my decision journey and why i chose this amazing field! Hope you enjoyed!

A little bit about myself, I’m a third year Optometry student. Aside from my academics, I enjoy making CZcams videos helping pre-optometry students, offering study tips, cooking videos, and lifestyle vlogs. Subscribe to be updated of when my videos are uploaded!❤️
Her smile when speaking about what she loves is so PRECIOUS
You’re too sweet!☺️
people talking about things their passionate about is one of the best things ever! very cool and informative video too :D
Aw you’re too kind! Thank you!☺️
HI! I am a junior in high school and I just want to thank you so much for the content that you release. I have been wearing glasses since I was 7 and I have always enjoyed visiting my optometrist, and that fascination with those appointments made me want to pursue that career. All of your videos are helping me understand how I should go about reaching toward this career. I can't wait for you to receive your OD. Please keep sharing your opinions, and information about the field. It really helps students interested in this career to know what steps to take.
You’re so sweet! Thank you for this ❤️ I will always try my best to give you guys the best information as I can! Good luck with all your future endeavors 🥰
Thank you for your insights. I’m currently applying to optometry, and you gave me a better perspective.
Watching this video again as inspiration for my personal statement. Big congrats on your engagement!! You were the first optometrist I started following on social media and it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come 🥳
Girl you just looked so so happy in this video! I have always thought I would attend medical school, but my aunt is an optometrist and now I'm starting to look into it more. Everything you said in this video appeals to me so much! Seriously, thank you so much for making this video, please keep making them! I wish you all the best :)
Nisha Patel Aw you’re so sweet! Thank you for watching 🥰 Best wishes in all your future endeavors in whatever it is you choose!
Thank you! 😊
You're so freaking inspiring D;
I applied for the first time last year and was unfortunately rejected. This year I've felt myself lose the passion to pursue optometry school. especially with how 2020 turned out. I'm 24 now, and time has just become really discouraging, being that by the time I finish I'd be 29 while most of my friends are already professionally working as nurses. Watching this video and seeing your genuine passion for the field as a student is really encouraging. I wish you well in all your future endeavors Khanh!!
You are on your OWN timeline, not racing with anyone else. We have people in our class that are in their 30’s and even 40’s. Those people are doing GREAT by the way. Who cares what everyone else is doing, you do what makes you happy. Reach out to the school and ask to REVIEW YOUR APP! See what you can improve on and what their marks are. You’re ONLY 24 you have your entire life ahead of you. That’s actually not old, a lot of people in our class started mid 20’s. Don’t be discouraged 💖 Wishing you the best!
Don't worry about your age. 24 years old is nothing. I'm 26 and considering applying for the summer. It's never too late to pursue your dreams.
I loved this video!!! subscribed!!! i have an interview to be an optometric assistant, ive always been fascinated with that field of work and being in an indoors, close knit environment, assisting!!!! im nervous!!!! but so excited!!!!
Hey thanks for the video upload! Your video helped me a lot in applying for optometry school. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Ryan! ☺️ best of luck on your optometry school application!
This is one of the best descriptions of our profession I've ever seen. It's sometimes so hard to debunk the idea that all we do is correct refractive errors, but we are trained to do sooo much more :)
I start my first year of Optometry school this fall, I hope to be able to represent our profession as well as you do some day 😅
Missael Serna aww you’re too sweet! Best of luck on your first year! You’re going to do amazing🤩
I did a lot of research on what I wanna be when I grow up and I chose this because it’s like good manageable with time and it’s looks fun
Good luck!
Loved your answer!!! I feel like same way. Going to be starting my first year next month!
Gyneth Rock ahh good luck! You’re going to do amazing 🤩

Lovelove

This convinced me to apply to optometry school😻
I'm currently a sophomore in high school who is in a biomedical program, as someone who gets their eyes checked regularly (I wear contacts) I thought about how amazing being optometrist would be for a future career and this video made me even more so passionate about it! Thank you so much for this video, I hope you continue to make more videos or even a day in the life since there isn't very many! I hope to be an optometrist in the future, so I appreciate this video!!!
You’re the sweetest! Good luck with all your future endeavors!
@@KhanhTon ❤️❤️❤️❤️
did that work out now??? are you still planning to go into that field?
@@Random-js6em it’s actually something I’m still thinking about doing (now I’m currently a senior) and I’m actually very passionate about wanting to be an ultrasound technician and maybe further on become an reproductive endocrinologist!!!!
@@Random-js6em but it’s really crazy to think about how our interests can change as we go through highschool I’m still in the biomedical program, but I think through that I’ve found my calling for working in the OBGYN field whether that be helping couples who can’t have their own kids or just being able to help in some way 🙏
I recently graduated from high school and you’re one of the people who made me want to become an optometrist since my junior year. I’ve been having some doubts because it’s so expensive for optometry school and it’s a lot of hard work but this video made me smile and gave me motivation. Thank you, I love your videos! 💗
I am so happy that I had the chance to motivate you! Best wishes in your college years! Reach out to me if you need anything and i'll try to help you as much as I can. :)
Thank you so much for making these videos! I really received a sense of assurance and confidence to apply to optometry school after watching them. Do you happen to have any advice on writing the personal statement/essay?
Aww thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it🥰 I’ll probably post a future video soon on personal statement!☺️
I'm a 17 yr old optometric assistant hoping to go into optometry. Your content makes me super excited for my future!!
Aww that makes me happy hearing that! Best of luck on all your endeavors! :)
I am 1st year student of optometry it is just 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 thnk uu for your information
An Impressive commitment for you.
I am interested in the prevention of myopia, before you become more myopic than -1 diopter, ie, 20/50.
I love optometry
Great choice 💚
Woohoo!🎉
Hi! I have no idea if you'll reply to this but I'm a 3rd year college student who after years of knowing I wanted to go into medicine, recently decided optometry school is for me! It was really an epiphany moment because I feel like I didn't think about optometry as a career path ever, despite being obsessed with vision and eyes and having an amazing relationship with my optometrist for the past ten years. Now I feel like I'm really late to the game, especially since I'm already going into my last year of college. I know I'll take a gap year probably so I can get shadowing experience and see more behind the scenes. I was wondering if there was any advice you could give because this feels like such unfamiliar territory
This video was really helpful! And you’ve mentioned that there’s a lot of specialties in Optometry, which one did you chose?
You have the option to chose a residency after your fourth year! I have my heart on ocular disease right now but I haven’t been exposed to all the fields yet so who knows!☺️
I study Optometry😍 I like your videos❤💟
Thanks!!🤩
i like your smile .very inspried
I love this :)
Thank you!! :)
Thank you Khanh! You always inspire me towards my path towards being an optometrist! If you are interested in the financial part of optometry, please consider helping my channel grow!
Amazing video! What are your thoughts on going back to Optometry school later in life?
hi! I'm a middle school student and have to select an endorsement next year. I have always wanted to be an optometrist and purse optometry. However, I am not sure if I should take STEM or Public service endorsements in high school. What endorsement would you recommend will set me on the path I need to become an optometrist?
This video is so helpful, thank you for sharing. I have an interview this upcoming Friday and it’s supposed to be 2.5 hours long!! Any tips? I am terrified.
check out my 2 videos on interviews!
thanks for your in formations i am optometrist from somaliland hargeisa
Ofc!
Hi, lately I’ve been studying for the MCAT. But I started to question my decision and looked at other options. I was wondering if you spend a lot of time with your patient? How does patient and optometry relationship/interaction is? Your video has made me more intrigued into this field :)
Great patient interaction! You spend as long as the exam with them so 15-20 minutes usually. For us students since we’re still learning and doing every little step, it takes about 1.5 hours!
Honestly when I tell my friends I want to be an optometrist they say the exact same thing and say it is boring lol.But I tell them that they do more than that but they still don’t think it is interesting
Haha 100% NOT boring😉
Lmao need to change friends. They are jealous
Great video :) I love optometry too. We are in a great profession.
Yes we are!🥰
Love your videos ❤very informative
Hi
I'm also studying Optometry
Do a video about your biography 💥💞
LOL maybe. I’m pretty boring tbh lol
What was your spike? for context: undergrad university's say they prefer students with a spike, usually relating to their back story and goals :D
I’m going to start optom in September and I was just wondering if there’s anything I can do beforehand to prep myself. Thank you
Gonna make a video on that coming up! 😃
Khanh T Thanks 😊👍
Hi, amazing video!
In your experience, what percentage of people open their personal practice vs people that work for an organisation in the field of optometry. A rough figure would be great! thanks
I loved the video. You can tell your passion in your smile. I have a question. What age do you think would be too old to start optometry school ?
I don’t think there’s an age limit! We have people in our class as young as I am who started right out of college and people in their 30’s, and even mid & late 40’s! You got this!
Khanh T thank you! That means so much!!
Do they have to do any kind of injections around the eye for patients?
Hey I loved your video, you’re so sweet and this provided so much insight. I’m a senior in high school and I’m not very good at math, and not amazing at science but it’s do-able. Would you say that you have to be quite smart in those areas to Pursue optometry? Or are the concepts difficult to grasp?
the optical (glasses) side of optometry relies a lot of having a good grasp of concepts in physics, but the math is actually very simple! as long as you like the field and are willing to put a bit of time into the science side of things, i'm sure you'll do well
@@DrJinKwon ok, thanks so much for the insight!
@@janeishavion my pleasure! would love to hear about how things go for you!
Do they do minor surgeries? Trying to find a healthcare profession that doesn't involve surgery. Originally wanted to be a pharmacist but the field is oversaturated
Optometrists do not do surgery! That's what opthamologists are for
Optometrist can do minor surgery and prescribe controlled medication if they job in 17 grade government job holder
Hello pls reply, do you have to take a pre-med course before taking Optometry?
I'm an optometry student from Assam India but here the jobs are very few and gives very less salary. I'm really worried about my future career
Are you considering a specialization? And could you break them down more possibly / what each one means? I’m going into my first year of optom school this year!
I think I have my heart set on ocular disease right now but I haven’t been exposed to other clinics yet (due to COVID) so who knows! I’ll definitely keep y’all updated once I get more exposure ☺️ also! Congratulations!! Best of luck on your first year!
Khanh T thank you!!!
I'm from india. I have done bachelor of optometry in india and one year fellowship in Pediatric Optometry. I'm eligible for work to there directly as an optometrist?
I'm a junior in high-school, what should be the step right now if I want to apply for Optometry school in the future. Does a good college matter if I want to apply for a Optometry school, and what classes I should be taking in college if I want to apply for Optometry school?
Check out my video with UHCO admission! That will answer all your questions :)
Khanh T Can I get the link to the video.
I’m regularly asked like you 😂
Nice! 😂
Hello Khanh T. What do you do for apply for an optometrist assistance? Thanks. Nice video!
You don’t need prior certification to be an optometry assistant! You just apply if you see an ad
Jesus Christ loves you! Great video I really enjoyed learning about Optometry!
@Khanh t what degrees did you have to obtain to get into optometry school?
But what if I don’t have the money for it?
What is the duration of optometry ? And from which country you pursuing your degree
Hlo,Khanh will a optometrist called a doctor..can he write DR. Pefix.plz answer
Depends on country.
USA, Dr.
Rest of world, not called Doctors.
How many retakes did it take to get that smooth intro 😎
LOL once or twice 🤪
Hmm... I'm pre-med but this video has me wondering if I should go to optometry school instead
Both are amazing fields! ☺️
@@KhanhTon absolutely!! I've got a decision on my hands now hahaha
Stone Johnson Vlogs May I ask what you decided? Also contemplating between both...
@@carlietowen463 I'm not sure yet. I'm not 100% sure if the pre-med prerequisites are the same as the pre-optometry requirements, but if they are then I would potentially be favoring optometry over medicine. I'll just have to see. Also, I haven't shadowed an optometrist yet so I think that will be important for me to do! I hope you're doing well and that you pick which one is best for you :)
Stone Johnson Vlogs Thank you for responding! Hope you are well too! And same here, haven’t shadowed yet, so hopefully soon. Good luck :)
Can a person with spectacles become an optometrist 👀
I'm 13 and I have been thinking to be an Optometers' but I don't no if it's write for me.
It’s ok, you have plenty of time to decide! :)
Them dimples tho. My crush...
I hope you move to California so you can look into my eyes.
What is the type of this job
Can i get a job in korea
Are optometrist happy in their life
Haha I would hope so!
You are very beautiful 😻
I am an optometrician and I want to work in your country.
Good luck with your endeavors!
I’m about to enter my senior year of undergrad and I’m so discouraged and stressed. Due to COVID A lot of things I planned to do to apply to optometry school got pushed back and I’m nervous I might have to take a gap year now :(
There is nothing wrong with taking a gap year if you don’t feel ready! Apply when you feel like you have everything lined up so you don’t put any unnecessary stress on yourself and waste money. Best of luck!✨
Hi cool video but do you have to be good at math to be a optometrist
Haha no
There is a lot of maths in ur carrer, I don’t like maths...
And you quit Instagram with 50k followers - why?
