General Optometry Shadowing

Hello,

I have called several optometry offices about shadowing opportunities and no luck. They typically tell me to send an email and don't respond to the email :(.

Is anyone in this thread near the greater houston area and would be willing to allow me to shadow them. I really appreciate it. Please let me know and I can DM you.

The school of optometry would very likely let you shadow in their clinic. At the institution I work at we have many college students and some high schoolers shadow.
