Hello Shreyansh,

I would like to tell you that both BSc. Optometry and Bachelor of Optometry are same courses. Some universities call it as BSc. Optometry and some have given it the name under bachelor's degree.

It is a full time undergraduate Optometric course of 3 years which is divided into six semesters of study.

The basic eligibility for BSc Optometry course is a candidate who should have passed 10+2 or equivalent examination in Science stream.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!

Hello Shreyansh,

As both BHMS and Optometry are full time undergraduate courses, so you cannot pursue both at the same time.

You can just go for one course at a time, so choose wisely and totally as per your interest area.

Both the courses have amazing career opportunities ahead, so it depends upon what you want to learn and become.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!

Hello Aspirant,

As you have mentioned that you have completed 4 year course for Optometrist so it seems that you have completed only Bachelor's program and with completion of only Bachelor's program you are not eligible to put Dr. in front of your name. You need to do either M.S./M.Phil./Ph.D/OD to become eligible for setting up Dr. in front of your name.

But still with your Bachelor's program you can make your career as :-

• Customer Care Associate
• Private Practitioner
• Professor
• Trainee Optometrist
• Vision Consultant

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
