B.Sc. Optometry program is a four-year degree program including one-year compulsory internship that deals with the examination, diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases and disorders of the visual system. It is a vision care science.
One can also define it as the science of eye equipment (including lenses and spectacles) which is imbued with the idea of improving the vision of the human eye and remove obstacles of sight which an individual may experience. This is a dynamic and challenging career, which allows one to help people, achieve personal growth, and earn community respect, with financial success thus offering unlimited opportunities.
The program is envisaged to develop multipurpose ophthalmic manpower at allied health level. The training will enable a student to become competent in providing service as an Optician, Optometrist, Refractionist and Ophthalmic Assistant to the community in urban, semi-urban, rural setting excluding private, semi-Governmental and Governmental sectors. In the past decade, a fundamental shift has occurred in healthcare delivery, largely due to advances in science and technology.
