For a Bachelor of Science in Optometry, the combination of subjects in 10+2 should consist of PCM or PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Mathematics with English). Mathematics is one of the subjects in this course, but it's not that important. Becoming an ophthalmologist requires a medical degree first, which requires biology and chemistry as the main subjects. Optometry, yes, needs physics and mathematics. Ophthalmology has a significant degree of math, particularly regarding refractive surgery. I hope this will help you.

Ophthalmology has a large degree of math, particularly when it comes to refractive surgery. Our most commonly performed and most powerful refractive surgery is cataract surgery, so knowing some basic ophthalmology math is a prerequisite for success.
