Optometry
Hi I am Chloe Ong from Naval Base Secondary School. I am an introvert but I always have a positive attitude towards everyone. Since young, i have always been very interested in optometry as I started wearing spectacles at an early age. I have always wondered how its like to make spectacles and felt like it was very cool but I put of that thought as I felt like it was just a period thing until i was 13. At 13 years old, I began going to the national eye centre more often as my eyelids were touching my cornea. During this process, I have seen and done many procedures related to my eye, and it made me go back to thinking about my child thought. When I was at the centre, I realised I was the only student there as most of the patients are elderly. This made me more interested in optometry as most elderly probably have bad eyesight and I want to help people especially the elderly make their life easier.
