Optometry Subjects List 2025: Check Semester-wise Subjects & Syllabus

General Anatomy

It is the study of the human body's parts. General and microscopic anatomy are both included in this subject.

Ocular anatomy

Understanding basic eye anatomy helps understand the diseases and ailments that might damage the eye.

Physical Optics

Physical optics study the phenomena in which light behaves as a wave rather than a ray or particle.

Geometrical Optics

Light is described as rays in geometrical optics. Light beams are geometrical lines that emanate from sources, travel through media, and are detected by detectors.

Clinical Optometry

This focuses on the practice of diagnosing and treating eye disorders to improve vision.

Clinical examination of the visual system

The clinical optometry techniques covered are external and anterior and posterior segment examinations.

Geriatric Optometry

Geriatric optometry is all about the general and ocular physiological changes that occur as people age.

Binocular Vision

Binocular vision refers to how the brain takes visual input from each eye and combines it into a single, distinct 3D image.

Occupational optometry

Occupational Optometry is about an individual's visual efficiency and safety in the workplace.

Ocular prosthesis

An ocular prosthesis is also known as an artificial eye or a glass eye, is a craniofacial prosthesis.

Ocular imaging

Ocular imaging technologies allow a quantitative assessment of the posterior segment to detect glaucoma-related alterations in the optic nerve head.

Refractive surgery

The surgical repair of refractive defects in the human eye.
