Optics is the branch of science involving the structure, function, and operation of the human eye. Optometry is the science of eye and vision care including eye examination, diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases and disorders of the visual system. It can also be defined as the science of eye equipment (including lenses and spectacles) aimed at improving the vision of the human eye. This involves removal of all kinds of obstacles of sight which an individual may suffer from. Optometrists are health professionals who have specialization in eye care. They also provide preoperative and postoperative care to individual suffering from cataract. Often optometrists discover eye conditions caused by systemic problems and refer their patients to other medical doctors.

Bachelor of Optometry is an undergraduate program concerning eye care. It is a four-year course containing three years of learning and a year of internship in clinical experience.
