Optometry is a healthcare profession that is autonomous, educated, and regulated (licensed/registered), and optometrists are the primary healthcare practitioners of the eye and visual system who provide comprehensive eye and vision care, which includes refraction and dispensing, detection/ diagnosis and management of disease in the eye, and the rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system. Indian Optometrists have a large scope of work and are well-recognized abroad.

Bachelor of Optometry (B.OPTOM) at The Neotia University (TNU) is designed to skill students on the intricacies of vision and different aspects and connections, to get jobs in topnotch hospitals, practice privately, or open dispensing outlets.
