After months of treatment for chronic depression, to no avail, the Doctor concluded my condition was incurable under his direction and reffered me to an Optimetrist.

Get the Optimetrist mug.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."

Get the Taking old one eye to the optometrist mug.A person that chose, unbelievably, not to go to school until they are 35 in order to work as a doctor. Along with this, they must deal with ignorant dumbasses that think they have no medical training, even though many schools teach the exact same classes to both. Upon graduation, these people will usually work privately, and get to be their own boss eventually. Some will work in chain stores, but take out really solid cash.
So are you an opthalmologist?
Shit no. I'm not an egotistical asshat, and with the 6 practices I own while those douches slave for their HMO I make more money than one anyway.I'm an optometrist, not a boring self-important hospital company knob polisher.

Get the optometrist mug.A dentist that deals with everything related to the eye instead of teeth. Hated by his technicians and assistants as they couldn't achieve the level of education he has. Ophthalmologist hate him too as they are shocked that he could almost do everything they do except that he didn't have to go through five years of medical training.
Natasha: I have an eye infection, should I go to an the Optometrist or Ophthalmologist?
Sara: Don't go to that old Ophthalmologist except if you need surgery .
