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.
