Healthcare
Optometrists are India's primary eye-care providers — performing refraction, prescribing glasses and contact lenses, diagnosing common ocular pathologies (glaucoma, dry eye, diabetic retinopathy screening, amblyopia), fitting low-vision aids, and triaging cases that need referral to ophthalmologists. The Indian path is via a 4-year B.Optom (Bachelor of Optometry) at LV Prasad Eye Institute Hyderabad, Sankara Nethralaya Chennai, Aravind Eye Care Madurai, AIIMS Delhi, Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune, Manipal Academy, or Elite School of Optometry; followed optionally by a 2-year M.Optom or international fellowships (Pennsylvania College, Salus University, NECO Boston). Workplaces span chain-retail clinics (Lenskart, Titan Eyeplus, Specsavers India, Vision Express), tertiary-care eye hospitals (LVPEI, Sankara, Aravind, Centre for Sight, Dr Agarwal's), the optical departments of private hospitals (Apollo, Manipal, Fortis), and increasingly tele-optometry startups. The profession is professionally newer than ophthalmology in India — the Optometry Council of India was established only in 2008 — and most senior optometrists work in clinical-administrative hybrid roles, supervising chains of 5-30 stores or running M.Optom training programs. The Lenskart-led D2C optical revolution since 2014 has dramatically expanded entry-level optometry jobs across tier-2/tier-3 cities.
