Can I become eye surgeon without MBBS?

The most popular Bachelor degree courses in Ophthalmology are B.Sc. Ophthalmic Technology and B.Sc. Optometry. These courses are generally offered by established medical and paramedical colleges in India. The candidates who wish to do a degree which is almost equivalent to a medical degree should look for these courses.

<p>Yes, you can become an eye surgeon without an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine or Bachelor of Surgery).</p><p>To become an ophthalmologist you must have cleared Class 12 examinations in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and English with Biology or Maths as optional subjects with at least 45 percent to 50 percent marks and should have passed out from the recognised board or institution.</p><p>An ophthalmologist treats all eye diseases and diagnoses also, performs eye surgery, and prescribes and fits eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct vision problems.</p><p>For more details, you may visit the Shiksha Ophthalmic Technology page.
