I understand that science and math are important in the study of optometry but how exactly is math used?
ANSWER
Dear Ariel
Optometry relies on optics and physics. You can imagine how important maths are to study optometry. It is a health science with grounded on other sciences as well. Even if the numbers are not used, the logical process to resolve mathematical problems is very similar to the one used during a differential diagnosis procedure. It is not only the math skills by themselves but their logical approach that helps during optometric studies and during a career in the field.
Good luck,
