They examine the eye with special equipment and check visual acuity (the ability to see). If a patient’s visual acuity is less than normal, they usually do a check to determine whether the decrease in vision can be corrected with glasses.

Take up physics, chemistry, biology in Class 12. Take the pre-medical entrance examination conducted by the Central and state bodies. After completing MBBS and compulsory resident internship, sit for the postgraduate entrance exams at national or state level.
There are three-year postgraduate degree (MD, MS) and two-year PG diploma programmes (DO, DOMS). A three-year course, Diplomate of National Board (DNB), is also available at various medical colleges and some private eye institutes.
