Hello.

Students who wish to do degree or diploma courses in Ophthalmic technology should clear 10+2 or equivalent examination, with a minimum of 50% marks in physics, chemistry and biology. To practice as a optometrist it is essential to have a Bachelor's degree in Optometry.

The program can be pursued in India for an average course fee ranging between INR 2 and 6 Lacs, varying across institutes. Admission to the course is generally offered based on the candidate’s performance in a relevant entrance examination, and thereafter a round of counseling.

Successful graduates of the program are lucratively employment across both private and government sectors, in areas such as eye clinics, optician showrooms, contact lens and ophthalmic lens industry, hospital eye department, optical shops, and such, with a monthly pay ranging around INR 15K and 30K at an initial level, varying with the candidate’s expertise in the field.

Hope this is helpful .
