what is bsc optometry?? explain .
Hi,
BSc Optometry is a full-time undergraduate program. It is a four-year degree program which is divided into eight semesters of study. Out of these eight semesters, six semesters are theory-based and undertaken in a classroom and remaining two semesters are training based and undertaken at a tertiary eye care hospital. This collaboration of pioneers in eye care and state-of-the-art university makes this program unique and different from others.
