What are your general comments?

It was a nice interview. However, I think I was a lot more nervous than I should hav e been. I feel if optometry is your passion then you should have no problem answering any questions, let it come straight from the heart and try not to sound too ''textbook.'' But that is not to say you shouldn't practice going over questions with someone you're comfortable with.
