With full deliberation I freely and solemnly pledge that:
- I WILL practice the art and science of optometry faithfully and conscientiously and to the fullest scope of my competence.
- I WILL uphold and honorably promote by example and action the highest standards, ethics, and ideals of my chosen profession and the honor of the degree, Doctor of Optometry, which has been granted me.
- I WILL provide professional care for those who seek my services, with concern, with compassion, and with due regard for their human rights and dignity.
- I WILL place the treatment of those who seek my care above personal gain and strive to see that none shall lack for proper care.
- I WILL hold as privileged and inviolable all information entrusted to me in confidence by my patients.
- I WILL advise my patients fully and honestly of all that may serve to restore, maintain, or enhance their vision and general health.
- I WILL strive continuously to broaden my knowledge and skills so that my patients may benefit from all new and efficacious means to enhance the care of human vision.
- I WILL share information cordially and unselfishly with my fellow optometrists and other professionals for the benefit of patients and the advancement of human knowledge and welfare. I will do my utmost to serve my community, my country, and humankind as a citizen as well as an optometrist.
- I HEREBY commit myself to be steadfast in the performance of this solemn oath and obligation.
Following this oath throughout my career has allowed me to experience gratefulness from my patients. I love seeing a young mother who is relieved all is well with her infant’s eyes; the teenager with a wide smile as she sees her face clearly in the mirror with contact lenses; the IT professional who calls the office elated at no more headaches at the end of the day; the mature patient who beams after you tell them, “You still have 20/20 vision!” As a Doctor of Optometry, I have chosen a career path that can give comfort to others, improve their productivity, and enhance their self-esteem.
These are the reasons why I became a Doctor of Optometry. These experiences are what life is all about for me…helping others achieve the best life possible for them and reach their full potential.
