Hello,

Yes , an optometrist can open a hospital or its own private clinic.

An optometrist is an eye doctor that can examine, diagnose, and treat your eyes.

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who can perform medical and surgical interventions for eye conditions. An optician is a professional who can help fit eyeglasses, contact lenses, and other vision-correcting devices.

So you can open a clinic or a shop for eye care or glass or treatment centre it would depend on you.

Hopefully this helps!!!
