I have passed 12th from PCM and I want to put Dr. in the field of Optometry. So, what should I do? Please, tell me something? Which course can I do in Optometry which will lead to me gain Doctor status?

After 12th with physics, chemistry and mathematics subjects, you can't become an eye doctor. You can make a career as optician in optometry only. For becoming an eye doctor, one should pursue course MBBS and then MD (Ophthalmology).

Optometry Courses After 12th PCM
- B.Sc (Optometry)
- B.Optometry

Career as An Optician
As an optician, you can help patient/client to select right kind of eye glass frames and measure required size of glass and frame according to face. Optician can also measure actual difference between corneas of eyes so that lenses may be correctly fitted in the frames.

You cannot pursue the course to become Opthalmologist on the basis of your educational qualification.

The required qualification to pursue the course is that candidate must have passed 12th in Physics, Chemistry and Biology as main paper.

So, you are not eligible for the admission in the course without PCB stream in Std 12th.
