Dear student

If we talk legally then you can't use Dr. As your title as you are one of technician of optometric devices and you haven't also studied much about disease and medicine. It's same as nurse in medical field but as if you complete your further study upto PhD you can use Dr. Title.

Optometrist can be called with Prefix Optom.

Dr. Title is for only those who comes under Medical council of India.. Optometrist are independent practitioners and are trying to regulate the practice. Optometry Council of India and Indian Optometric Association are working to get optometry regulated through government so that better health standards can be maintained.

Hope this information helps you

All the best
