    Career Advice: Optometry vs Occupational Therapy

    Thanks for the reply- regarding the pay differences between orthoptists and optometrists, I am not too sure. I've looked on labourmarketinsights.com.au yet I can't find any data. However, your comment about orthoptics being a niche profession is right, as it seems there are 10 times as my...
