I do not know where to post this but I am 24 years old and very facinated with eyes...

I have not gone to college yet because I have been working a lot of small time jobs, but this year I plan on going to school to become or make something better of myself, I have always been fascinated with eyes and eye care. I was thinking about becoming an Optometrist. Am I to old to begin a path on becoming an eye doctor? If not what would you recommend a person to do, to start out?
