The Bachelor of Optometry typically emphasizes clinical skills, patient care, and hands-on training in diagnosing and treating eye disorders. Bachelor of Optometry often includes extensive practical experience through clinical rotations and internships.
In contrast, a BSc in Optometry tends to be more science-focused, covering theoretical aspects of vision science, optics, and biomedical sciences. While it also includes practical training, the curriculum may place more emphasis on research and the scientific foundations of optometry.
