Are you an optometrist? So am I. I’ve always considered a move to El Salvador. Do you work as one there or fully ditched it?
Discussion
Yes completely ditched. And then I trolled the college on X.
Where do you practice ?
Ireland. I just moved to Malta for 5 months but I couldn’t get enough work so going back to Ireland next week. I’m only in my 20s and have never given Dublin a try. If I was to move again it would be to Costa Rica or El Salvador. I like my job (in small doses) and wouldn’t mind continuing it
Does Malta and Ireland refractions to be done by an optometrist or do they allow opticians to refract?
Also, is optometry a 4 year university degree in Ireland ?
I liked optometry enough in Canada but didn’t want to be trapped by Cbdc and deal with escalating crime and poverty. 6 months after I sold my practice , the optical store where I worked got broken into. They shattered the glass door to get in and stole all the frames and damaged some computers.
I shound distinguish, I’m actually an optician.
We have opticians/optometrist and ophthalmologists.
Opticians and optometrist mean the same thing here
Ophthalmologists are doctors who can prescribe + do surgery
I’m really sorry to hear about your shop. The same problems are coming to Ireland. I’m only young so I would still need to work, that’s probably the only thing putting me off the move
It’s good that you are young. You have a lifetime to stack sats and you dont have a lifetime of networth stolen from you.
I would probably try not to own an optical store right now. They are easy targets.
