Hi, as u want a doctor degree in optometry you can go for MBBS degree by passing in NEET Exam and then join MD specialised in Ophthalmology who are meant for diagnosis and surgery called as opthalmologist.

But B.optometry is totally different from doctor of optometry as they meant for examining the eye and called as optometrist.

As u want to become Dr in optometry your choice must be to pass in the NEET EXAM.
