Optometry is a profession that cares for the sense of vision. Latest statistics show that 80% of the blindness/issues related to the vision are preventable or avoidable by providing primary eye care and also 30% of these blind people are in India. Optometrists who are getting trained both in academics & clinical will be providing this primary vision care to people across the world. This 4 years program includes 3 years of academics which covers the fundamental aspects of the human eye and prepares the candidate to diagnose, treat & prevent blindness through various subjects related to the eyes & equipment required both theoretically & practically. The last 1 year of internship will make the candidate industry-ready by providing complete practical exposure. This program is offered in collaboration with Lenskart, a company which aims to spread the mission of preventable blindness through their 1000+ stores pan India and various vision camps/programs under different departments. The internship period will be provided in Lenskart’s stores in Pan India.
