Bachelor in Optometry Technology is a 4-year undergraduate program (including 1 year of internship) that trains students in the science of eye care and vision management. The course equips students with in-depth knowledge of optics, ocular anatomy and physiology, eye diseases, refraction techniques, contact lens fitting, and the use of advanced diagnostic instruments. It also covers clinical training, patient handling, and public eye health education. The program prepares professionals to detect vision problems, prescribe corrective lenses, and assist in the diagnosis and co-management of ocular conditions in collaboration with ophthalmologists. Graduates can pursue careers in hospitals, eye care clinics, optical chains, and vision therapy centers. This degree also opens pathways to postgraduate studies or research in optometry, vision science, or public health.
