Optometry deals with the study of the human eye. The word ‘Optometry’ originates from the Greek words ‘Opsis’ and ‘Metron’ which mean something used to measure. Optometry students are given practical and theoretical knowledge about the human eye. Earlier, optometry study dealt with rectifying optic errors with the use of spectacles but now the curriculum has expanded. Optometry courses now cover the diagnosis and management of eye-related defects and diseases too (retinal issues, cataracts, glaucoma). Students opting for this field study about the manufacturing of optical aids like spectacles and contact lenses, and how to handle the equipment used in this field as well. All students taking up optometry courses are trained to be effective professional Optometrists who provide eye care at a primary level.
