I am 61, an optometrist for 32 years and find the onset of Ortho K extremely important. I spent a total of 5 years at medical school, specialising in optometry after one year and find this as the best thing to have happened to the industry – since then – ha!. This is in the UK. It can be a repetitive job but if you don’t mind that kind of thing the rewards can be great. I personally love it as you get to work with people – people who wish to have a life free of glasses and the reactions you get from patients for this is incredible.
