As a student in optometry you looked forward to achieving and receiving you degree. Finally the long wait is over and the time has come to move out from the protective wings of your lecturers, mentors and other helpful people who had been teaching you all you needed to know about this career. In the beginning, you may not want to go on your own and open your own practice, as for that you will need capital, which you may not have at that stage. Many opticians choose to work with other specialists, or even within a medical clinic or health convenience store. An Optometrist salary is influenced by the state in which their practice is situated, as well as whether there are many other optometry practices in the same area. If there is a lot of competition, the clientele will be less, and the same goes for if they work in a private medical clinic and so forth. The options are wide open and the choice lies with you.
