I like how when you talk it's quiet so I put the volume all the way up, then music hits and destroys my ears lol. I love this video though, gave me a pretty good understanding of what optometry school will be like

hows optometry school like??

[@blowfishrule]

I love this! I’m a junior in undergrad pursuing optometry and it’s super interesting to see what it would be like :)

[@KhanhTon]

Glad you liked it!! 😊😊😊

[@Fashiongurru56]

I'm also from Texas and looking to get into UHCO! Your videos have definitely helped me look forward to attending the school since I'm from a smaller town. I would love to see a video about how you adapted to living in such a big city like Houston and how you were able to find a room to yourself without having to share with someone else. Since Houston is so big I'm getting anxious if I can handle it over there.

[@KhanhTon]

Hi! Ive lived in a big city my entire life so I didn’t have to make much of an adjustment. But once you are accepted, the admission office will help you find apartments! You’ll make so many friends at UHCO trust me :) they’ll help ease you into the city.

Hey hows optometry school going so far??!

[@hannahkurton1016]

As someone who dropped out of my high school physics class, I’m wondering if I’ll be able to handle optics physics if I go to optometry school

[@missm-ky2od]

I'm doing optom right now- I didn't take physics at all in high school and did an intermediate level of maths (that I struggled with tbh!) and ended up getting a distinction in optics! It was hard work getting my head around the physics but as long as you have foundational maths abilities and are willing to put in the practice you should be ok 😊

Hii! I was wondering, what classes in highschool did you take to get into optometry school?

[@KhanhTon]

High school classes do not matter!

[@yoedzerdema3551]

Science background is necessary though like biology,chemistry physic especially

[@flanagamer]

Take AP classes in biology, calculus, and physics if possible - it will make the college classes WAY easier!

[@thebookishmuslim2908]

Hey I was curious as to what you got your degree in before going to optometry school?

[@KhanhTon]

Biology BS & Psychology

Hello, what do I need as an optometry student in terms of technology such as tablets and laptops?

[@KhanhTon]

You’re not required to use anything specific. You can use whatever you’re comfortable with

[@balsha1360]

Khanh Ton thank you so much and good luck ♥️

[@noahchaney3436]

Another question what kind of math skills am I looking at for an optometrist in college? Minimum or the normal amount or more that usual?

[@KhanhTon]

Hmm not much other than our optics class which is similar to like geometry/physics

[@opheliayangyang3811]

Do you enjoy the things you learn? I feel like I want to become an optometrist to help people, but the materials seem kinda boring to me. Is this a wrong mindset?

[@nourazzam1316]

In terms of cost for optometry school does it cost more if you are out of state ?

[@KhanhTon]

It does for the first year. In Texas, after you go to school for a year you can apply to be a Texas resident which will lower your tuition to in-state

[@noahchaney3436]

How many years total would it take from beginning to end to complete training?

[@KhanhTon]

4 years undergrad 4 years optometry school Optional 1 year residency!

Can you do a video about which courses you take in the first year in optometry school

About how many years of schooling are you doing? (after high school)

[@Pricklyrose-l2o]

Hey did you get your bachelors degree before going in to UoH optometry school because I go to hcc I’m transferring to UoH next year.

[@KhanhTon]

yes!

[@starbeom]

hello! i was wondering if it is necessary to major in something like biology before attending a college of optometry? or can you apply to school like ico immediately after high school ?

[@KhanhTon]

You need a bachelors and to fulfill all the prerequisites

[@megerin8124]

make sure to talk a lot louder. So hard to hear you in your videos and music overly loud. Great job overall!

[@yurellibazan4195]

What classes do you need to take in college ??! Or what degrees you need to become an optometrist ?

[@yoedzerdema3551]

Yurelli Bazan there is undergraduate program for 3 or 4 years called bachelors in optometry where you need science background in high school and yeah subject that you will be learning changes every semester like for eg first semester general human body related,second semester more in eye anatomy n physiology optics n goes on

[@KhanhTon]

You can search up prerequisite classes online!

[@leahdashes9421]

The math scares me tbh

It’s only 2-3 classes out of many that you’ll be taking in your 4 years! Don’t worry about it!
