Hi aspirant,

Bachelor in Optometry is a 4 year under graduate course while Diploma in Optometry is a 3 year undergraduate course.

• Eligibility for both is 10 + 2 from a recognized university irrespective of state/ CBSE / ICSE.

• Possibly you can pursue  Masters Degrees in Optometry, such as M.OPTOM  or M.Sc in Optometry after you complete your Bachelors in Optometry.

• Moreover in Diploma, you need more undergraduate knowledge to pursue masters

• Also, the annual package for a Bachelors is higher than the diploma graduates.

• Also, with the duration of course we can understand that Bachelors is a detailed study of 4 years as compared to Diploma which is of 3 years.

• I would suggest you to think for Bachelors in Optometry for a good career .

Hope that helps.
