My dream job. All the optometrists I know are badasses that look at eyes all day. They improve people's vision on the daily, prescribe glasses and contacts, look at the back of the eye and detect illnesses from retinal detachments to Diabetes to brain tumors. They pick the most long-lasting, least invasive medical treatments first and only refer for surgery if necessary. I have a great optometrist. He pretty much saved my life.
Optometrists make really good money and have the lowest divorce rate of all occupations. I'd become one if it didn't take 8+ years of school and only about 1 in 8 applicants are accepted into the 22 US schools :/
"Hey man, I thought you had a lazy eye?"
"Got 'er fixed by the optometrist. It's never coming back. He was pretty hot, too."
