The MBBS. of Optometry is a healthcare course but not a full-fledged medical degree like MBBS. It is a paramedical programme focusing on eye care, diagnosis of vision problems, and prescription of corrective lenses.
Though optometrists are not doctors, they play a vital role in preventing blindness and improving eye health. Their work is often complementary to ophthalmologists and other healthcare professionals.
