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. The course curriculum designed by industry experts and academic stalwarts, is practical based that includes a Clinical observer ship from the first year, maintaining a Clinical Log Book during the Internship, and submission of Clinical projects and case reports in the final year. A 12-month Internship program at renowned eye hospitals and retail optical chains is part of the curriculum.

The Department is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities like Health Sciences Lab with Human Cadavers, Clinical Lab, and an Eye Dissection facility using Bull’s Eyes. The department is planning to extend the lab facility with various specialty labs in contact lenses, binocular vision, low vision rehabilitation, and dispensing optics lab. Industrial experts, academicians, doctors, and hospital personnel visit the campus, to train students in research and industrial opportunities.
