Optometry involves examining, diagnosing, treating and managing visual diseases and disorders. It’s the science of optical equipment (including lenses and spectacles) that improves human vision. It’s one of the best paying jobs in the country, as well as one of the most stable and flexible.

Courses & Eligibility Criteria

To pursue a Diploma or B.Sc. course in Optometry one needs a background in Science in 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, English and Biology or Mathematics. Selection criteria may vary among institutes, who may also conduct their own entrance examinations. Post-graduate diplomas in Optometry require a graduate degree from any subject – though a science background definitely gives an advantage. Master and M.Phil programs require a completed Bachelor degree and Master degree in optometry respectively.

  • Manage his or her own eye clinic, optical shop, lens manufacturing unit
  • Contribute to eye tests, contact lenses, exercises
  • Collaborate with opticians, ophthalmologists, lens manufacturers
  • Teach optometry 
  • Help detect diseases or fit contact lenses/Low Vision Aids
