Hello Aspirant,

I hope you are doing well.

An optometrist examines the eyes for visual acuity and then prescribes corrective lenses. They handle eye testing equipment professionally to evaluate people's vision and are capable of producing and fitting lenses when necessary, as well as other low vision solutions for particular needs. When it comes to refraction, eyeglasses, contact lens fitting, dealing with low vision, and evaluating and referring to an ophthalmologist, optometrists can assist patients avoid becoming blind.

Optometrists work in optician's shops, eye hospitals and clinics, or with global companies dealing with vision care after graduating from top BSc Optometry Colleges such as Chandigarh University. They can also specialise on vision impairments such as colour blindness, squint, and infractive errors in the event of presbyopia at the best colleges in India.

They might open their own practise after getting expertise in private clinics and lens makers. It is regarded as one of the top ten highest-paying occupations.

Salary:

An optometrist's starting monthly income ranges from Rs.20,000 to Rs.40,000. As a fresher, an optometrist can expect to earn between Rs. 4 and 5 lacs per year. An ophthalmologist's pay varies depending on where they work, what talents they have, and where they live. They can make at least Rs. 9 to 10 lacs each year in India.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck
