The specialist in Eye related diseases is names Optometrist. For being a Optometrist, you need to qualify the EYECET exam which is a combined test held across the country.
Eligibility for EYECET:
>> You should be 10+2 pass with at least 50% marks in PCB(Physics, Chemistry, Biology) Group.
>> Minimum age 17 years.


The exam is conducted countrywide and result is made over all india basis. As per your performance in the test you may select the institute for the course B.Optom (Bachelor's degree in Optometry/Bachelor of Clinical Optometry). After completing the course B.Optom, you become eligible for practising as a Optometrist. The first 3 years of the course, you are taught about the concepts and theory of the subjects and last one year is for Clinical experience internship.

First of all you need to take admission in MBBS course through any medical entrance exam. After completion of MBBS degree if you want to become an eye specialist then you need need to opt for MD in the same field.

Ophthalmologists are called eye specialist. They have MD specialization in Ophthalmology. Optometry is a different qualification which is paramedical course which will allow you to correct vision through glasses and lenses.

If you want to become doctor in any discipline either Oncology or Ophthalmology or Dermatology etc, you will have to do Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from any recognized medical college in desired discipline. Earlier there used to be many entrance exam conducted for admission in MBBS course but as per latest Supreme Court order, now there will be only one entrance exam called National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test.

NEET is conducted by CBSE and for this exam, you must have studied Physics, Chemistry and Biology and scored at least 50% marks. You can apply for this exam and if you want you can also apply for EAMCET.

if you want to become a doctor of eyes then you have to complete your 12th standard with PCB from a recognised board and after that you have to pursue MBBS from a recognised university or college after that you have to do MD in a subject which is specialised in Eyes. Once you are done with your 12th standard then you have to appear in NEET examination in order to seek admission in MBBS course.
