steps to becoming an optometrist

<p>maybe this is a rookie question, but what do i need to major in college and go afterwards to become an optometrist? i read a little bit about it but so many sites seem unclear to me...</p>

<p>i was thinking chemistry degree, but i dont know what to do next.</p>

<p>Search for optometry on princetonreview.</p>

<p>So I looked at the Univeristy of Houston webpage: ([Doctor</a> of Optometry Degree: Prerequisites | University of Houston College of Optometry](<a href=“http://www.opt.uh.edu/academics/OD/prerequisites.cfm]Doctor”>Error Occurred While Processing Request)) </p>

<p>Pretty much you need to have the core pre-reqs, which vary from school to school but seem to be the same for premed/preden, and then need to take the OAT exam.</p>
