Advice for career in optometry field

<p>I am a senior in NJ and contemplating a career in optometry. Can someone guide me what direction to take. Are there any combined BS/DO programs?</p>

<p>I've never heard of a BS/DO program. But doing pre-optometry is the same as doing premed for the most part. There are some course differences but everything else is the same. Isn't there a pre-health sciences forum here?</p>
