    Main Results:

    • While student indebtedness is a significant consideration, it is not the sole factor driving practice mode decisions.
    • Several other variables, including practice environment, professional autonomy, and work-life balance, also play a crucial role.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice of practice mode for optometry graduates is multifactorial, extending beyond financial considerations.
    • A holistic approach is necessary to understand and address the diverse influences on career path selection in optometry.
