NSHM offers a 4year undergraduate programme in B. Optom. (Bachelor of Optometry) where students learn about various types of visual disorders, conditions, diseases and abnormalities of the human eye. NSHM offers one of the best optometry programmes in West Bengal with a problem based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL) approach to improve clinical decision making ability in students.
Students are taken for study tours of tertiary eye hospitals to know about the ophthalmic examinations techniques practised in these places. Their hands-on training is also facilitated through participation in eye screening camps as optometrists. The final year of this 4-year long programme is devoted to internship which allows students to gain sufficient industry exposure before venturing into full-time jobs.
Optometry is a challenging and dynamic career option that offers high salary, job stability and tremendous potential for growth and further research.
