is pharmacy a good choice or optometry

In fact optometry and pharmacy,both are the great career choice.firstly you should consider your interest regarding the Field and then start focusing on what you feel sure about.I'm mentioning here some points related to optometry as well as pharmacy field.

Bachelor in Optometry,It is an undergraduate medical professional degree course in india.

To pursue for this course,one should passed 10+2level education with physics,chemistry, mathematics or biology.optometrist generally do following thing:Perform vision tests and analyze results,diagnose sight problems,prescribe eyeglasses,contact lenses,provide pre and post operative care to patients undergoing eye surgery,promote eye health and also counsel patients.

See,As a optometrist, you can work in hospitals under the opthalmologist or under the senior optometrist.you can join as a professor in many of the Colleges,etc.

But yes there is lot of hard work and dedication required in this career.

Pharmacy has its own popularity,and pharmacy also would be good career choice.

10+2student with science stream can pursue for pharmacy.It is also 4 years duration undergraduate degree course.And there is a good scope in various sectors like,

Healthcare sector,manufacturing sector,

Research and development sector.Also you can do job in government as well as private sector.

It is actually well reputed field.

So, As I said, think about your career interest first and then select the course

Hope this answer will help you.
