    Optometrists focus on vision care, eye health, and the prescription of corrective lenses. They diagnose and treat visual problems and eye diseases.

    On the other hand, BSc Nursing graduates are involved in direct patient care, providing a wide range of healthcare services, including administering medications, assisting in surgeries, and coordinating patient care.
