No, you cannot perform surgery after completing a BSc in Optometry. Optometrists are trained to provide comprehensive eye care, including vision testing, prescribing corrective lenses, and diagnosing certain eye conditions, but they are not qualified to perform surgical procedures.
Eye surgeries are performed by ophthalmologists, who are medical doctors who have completed MBBS, followed by specialized training and residency in Ophthalmology.
