Dear Kaja,

No, you don't need to give NEET exam for optometry. To be an optometrist, you need to have a Bachelors degree in optometry which is a 4 year course. To become eligible for this course you must have passed 12th class with 50% marks in physics,chemistry and biology from a recognised board.
