Hello Aspirant,

Optometrists are trained to examine the eyes to detect defects in vision, signs of injury, ocular diseases or abnormality and problems with general health, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. They make a health assessment, offer clinical advice, prescribe spectacles or contact lenses and refer patients for further treatment, when necessary. Following are the top colleges in India that offers education in Optometry:

• All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.
• Bharati Vidyapeeth University.
• All India Management Association.
• Government Medical College and Hospital, Surat.
• Government Medical College, Nagpur.
• Punjab Medical College, Amritsar.
• Medical College, Patiala.

Optometrists can work as post-secondary teachers, occupational/industrial safety programs, consultants in the eye care industry or do research in optometry colleges. Optometrists can also set up their own private clinics & work independently. They can also choose a career in sports vision, public health and government service or community health centers.The initial monthly salary of an optometrist ranges between Rs.20, 000 to Rs.40, 000. Optometrist can earn Rs. 4 to 5 lacs per year as a fresher.

All the best
