Hi there, by studying Optometry the work stations will be cleaner, more comfortable, and less complicated in the future. But dentistry will be a more challenging job and has a wide range of options which will appear to be messier in times. If you want to do procedures all day you can choose dental hygiene and therapy, if you prefer chilling in an office then Optometry is the one. Being a dentist is hard work, you'll sit and do procedures all day and it usually pays better than being a Optometrist.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Best wishes,
