The bottom line

About 55% of the work in Optometrists is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.

Why: The tools distribution heavily favors segment 43 software (24 tools) over segment 42 medical equipment (6 tools). However, Work Activities and Context show a strong mix of direct, physical patient care ('Assisting and Caring for Others' at 4.81, 'Physical Proximity' at 4.60) alongside heavy knowledge work ('Documenting/Recording Information' at 4.71, 'E-Mail' at 4.90), placing this firmly in the hybrid band.
