The Optometry syllabus includes a balance between classroom learning as well as applied and practical training. In the course, there are subjects like ocular physiology, contact lens technology and even optometric instruments that students study and also go through practical sessions.

Also, clinical postings and internships in the hospitals help them diagnose refractive errors, manage vision therapy and even assist in specialised eye care.

Both the courses include core subjects such as anatomy, optics and even ocular diseases. But there are also some key differences like BSc Optometry is more academically oriented which focuses more on the Science and theory behind eye care.

But B.Optom is more about the clinical practice and patient care with more structured hospital training.

Yes, Optometry courses place a strong focus on practical training and hospital exposure. Students go through laboratory work, clinical postings and even hands-on sessions with diagnostic equipment.

Most colleges make it sure that hospital internships are there during the final year, where students usually examine patients under some supervision.

This experience not only helps them apply theoretical knowledge in real scenarios but also build confidence in them and even develop essential skills in them that are required for careers as clinical optometrists or specialists.

The duration of a BSc Optometry course is typically 4 years. This includes three years of academic study and one year of compulsory internship, which provides hands-on training in hospitals, clinics, or eye-care centers.

The academic phase focuses on building theoretical knowledge in visual sciences, optics, and ocular health, while the internship ensures real-world exposure. This structure helps students develop both strong technical skills and practical competence before entering the profession.
