Today, I addressed this in the pre-optometry forum in a thread titled “Reconsider Optometry.” A typical employed new O.D. will earn 100k salary plus 25-40k of benefits (insurance, 401k match, vacation, taxes paid by your employer that you would pay if you were self-employed, possibly student loan repayment program, membership dues).
Not to fret, salary.com reports that “the median annual optometrist salary is $115,015, as of August 29, 2016, with a range usually between $101,837-$127,443.” Cool! Cool! But we all know it's not about how much you make that matters.
But if you are hell-bent on finding a 'average' salary, just pick a number out of the blue. P.S. The $80,000-$120,000 numbers are not ultimate 'highs and lows'. The $80,000-$120,000 numbers are not ultimate 'highs and lows'.

The average optometrist salary can range from $100,000 to $500,000. It s probably more in the west, but for someone starting off, the average salary is $100,000 to $200,000. In private practice, the average salary depends upon whether you re opening cold or buying a practice.

Because once youve budgeted your salary you don't want to let it fall mid career and that's something these pure salary surveys won't show you. One example is the anesthesiologist making 300-400k 10 years ago doing 1 room, own cases, and now making 300-400k covering 4 CRNA rooms to be able to generate the same income due to lower reimbursements.
Edit: I've already been accepted and I'm interested in academic/research optometry. (<--Not sure if my future salary will be lower than a clinical optometrist in private practice, commercial, etc.??) Speaking of academic/research optometry, how much do they make? I've tried to research it online but I can't find any figures. Anyone have an idea?
Wal-mart provides a lot of jobs, and they offer low prices which obviously benefit the poor and middle class. I have heard Wal-mart pays optometrists a competitive salary. I guess I don't see the difference between working as an optometrist in a corporate setting or a private practice, don't you perform the same role in both settings?
