In my experience, Optometrists are often not huge fans of contacts generally. Probably because, especially contacts that are worn too long, worn even when an eye gets irritated, etc. can lead to complications that generally don’t exist with glasses.

Also FWIW, my optometrist just passes me to the front desk when he’s done. No one pressures me to buy contacts or glasses from them and, in fact, I mail order my contacts from Walmart.
