We discuss the misconceptions of optometry and why two current optometric students ultimately chose the field of optometry to study. We talk to Morganne Bayliss a student at Michigan College of Optometry at Ferris State University and Chanpreet Sawhney a student at Salus University Pennsylvania College of Optometry. Both students, were on a different course of study in the health care field but chose optometry. Each has a different story to share.
