Ophthalmology & Optometry

"The Need for Eyecare is not Only a Massive Challenge but an Immense Opportunity"

Optometry and Opthalmic Technology

COURSES	ELIGIBILITY	DURATION
Master of Optometry and Ophthalmic Technology	BOOT/BPT/BOT/GRF	2 years
Bachelor of Optometry and Ophthalmic Technology	10+2 with PCB/PCM with English and 45%agg	4 years
Diploma in Ophthalmic Technology	10th with PCB/PCM	2 years
Diploma in Ophthalmic Technology	10th with PCB/PCM	3 years

In India, the scope for optometric practice is growing by leaps and bound, yet the field remains unregulated and unorganised. The need of the hour is to increase awareness within the existing professionals about the latest in optometry as well as increase professional capacities.

Overall :The key emerging trend in optometry is to bring quality eyecare and detection of eye diseases and problems to the people, wherever they are, in an effective manner.The achievement of this quality service is at various stages of implementation in different parts of the world. However, the key area is excellent training and regulation as well as certification of both, quality training institutions and competent professionals.

Research:Many exciting happenings are going on in the field of research in optometry. optometry How do we deliver cost-effective eye care to those in need who are the less better off members of society? This is one of the important questions we are seeking a solution for through research. Earlier, through eye research, we have corrected refractive error, now we are investigating on hypotheses related to the treatment and prevention of refractive error (especially myopia).

A writer once remarked that eyes are the gretest gifts of God to man. For what would the beautiful world be if one could not see it.

All the wonders of the world and all the surprises of nature would come to a nought if there was no one to admire its beauty. Every third blind person in the world is an Indian and millions of others suffer from defective vision. There are people amongst us who want that everyone in the world should appreciate the creations of God on earth.

The career of optometric's is right for anyone who wants to serve people in this direction by helping them regain good eyesight. The career offers a fairly regulated work life and also makes one, an integral part of the profession of healthcare. And with our country severely in shortage of optometrists, this career offers a lot of scope in terms of work and monetary benefits.

Optometry is the practice or profession of testing the eyes for defects of vision in order to prescribe corrective glasses. An optometrist is a person who is skilled in optometry.

The job profile of an optometrist includes the recognition of ocular and visual signs of eye diseases, the understanding of the wide range of problems afflicting the eye and also the reference of patients to appropriate specialists. Thus, an optometrist diagnoses, treats and prevents the problems relating to the eye. An optometrist fabricates lenses according to prescribed specifications and fits these to suit individual requirements. An optometrist also hardens and polishes lenses by the use of hi - tech machines.

Ophthalmic Optics is a science, which deals with the structure, function and working of the human eye. Popularly known as Optometry, this health care profession is concerned with examination, diagnosis and treatment of eyes, specially related to visual, optical symptoms, refractive errors and their correction, using lenses and other optical aids. The scope for optometric practice in India and abroad is great and unlimited. It is a dynamic and challenging career which could achieve personal growth, community respect and offers job flexibility, financial success and unlimited opportunities.

Optometrists or optometric physicians are primary eye care and health professionals concerned with vision care. They are experts in determining one's refractive error and prescribing appropriate correction. They deal with vision screening (eye testing), diagnosis of visual problems, orthoptics and vision training, optometric counseling of patients with partial sight, colour blindness and hereditary vision defects, and designing and fitting of spectacles, contact lens and low vision aids. They also prescribe Vision therapy eye exercises to patients complaining of Visual symptoms such as squint etc.

Though Optometry goes hand in hand with Ophthalmology in treatment of Visual disorders, Optometrists should not be confused with ophthalmologists or dispensing opticians. An optometrist performs all the tasks of an ophthalmologist, short of surgery. Ophthalmologists (Eye M.D's) are trained physicians specialized in eye and vision care who perform eye surgery, as well as diagnose and treat eye diseases and injuries.

Physiotherapy

COURSES	ELIGIBILITY	DURATION
Master of Physiotherapy	BPT/BOT	2 years
Bachelor of physiotherapy	10+2 with PCB/PCM	4 years

Physiotherapy : But, it is estimated that one physiotherapist is required for every 10,000 people, and the demand for trained professionals is only growing with time as compared to only around 5,000 qualified physiotherapists in India.

Physiotherapy is a science that helps improve movement dysfunction, and promote functions of the human body and optimal health. This involves assessment, diagnosis and treatment of disease and disability through physical means. Physiotherapists help patients rehabilitate from a state of incapacity due to genetic defect or the result of an accident or illness. Hence, you must have thorough knowledge of the human anatomy and the intricacies of bones, muscles and nerves.

Having excellent interpersonal skills including being empathetic, having patience and being able to understand people, is a must practice which should be followed.

Conditions treated through physiotherapy are spinal and joint conditions with arthritis, post accident treatment and rehabilitation, back and neck pain, problems affecting children including cerebral palsy and spina bifida, cancer and palliative care, pregnancy related problems such as back pain, stress incontinence, work-related injuries, heart/lung conditions like asthma, obstructive airways diseases (COPD) and other breathing difficulties, sports injuries and brain injuries (example: strokes) and other neurological problems.

There are three ways to enter the field. A diploma (DPT), a degree (BSc) or a professional course (BPT of four years with a 6-month internship). The diploma course increasingly is finding less favor with major hospitals. If you pursue a diploma course (one year), it would just make you eligible to work as an assistant to a physiotherapist. Though Govt. rules still do not discriminate between diploma and degree in realty a degree finds much more acceptance. Though a BSc course is an improvement many hospitals are keen on hiring a candidate with a BPT, which includes an internship period of six months in the fourth year of study. So it would be advisable to go for a BPT.

The course helps students develop a basic understanding of the human body, based on medical sciences. Training comprisesunderstanding procedures for therapy and related skill training. The curriculum includes anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, psychology, medical and surgical conditions, biomechanics, kineseology, disability prevention, rehabilitation and other subjects.

Working places include centers for physically and mentally challenged people, community health centers, industries, government hospitals, mental health centers, nursing homes/ private care centers, private and public hospitals, private practice, rehabilitation centers, sports clinics and fitness centers and at universities and colleges.

Physiotherapists are required in each department of a hospital, be it ICU or geriatrics, and they can also choose to work independently or be part of a multidisciplinary team. You can enjoy flexible working hours as a consultant, choosing the number of hours you work everyday.

Microbiology

COURSES	ELIGIBILITY	DURATION
MSc.( Microbiology )	Graduate in related fields	2 years
BSc.( Microbiology )	10+2 with PCB	3 years

Microbiology is a branch of Biology that includes the study of growth, characteristics and various other aspects related to the life cycle of micro organisms such as protozoa, algae, fungi, bacteria and viruses. In other words, it is the study of microscopic organisms.

A person who specializes in the area of Microbiology is called as Microbiologist. The task of microbiologists involves investigation of the fascinating world of micro organisms or microbes. Due to the advancement in the field of science and technology, the scope of research in the field of microbiology has widened.

A Career in microbiology can be a lucrative option in India as well as abroad. Numerous institutions all over India and abroad offer degree programs at under graduate as well as at post graduate levels in the field of microbiology. While a Ph.D or master's degree is required for Research & Development positions, Bachelor degree holders have employment potential as laboratory technicians, aids to biological scientists or as biology teachers.

Microbiologists find jobs in many places like research and development laboratories of government and private hospitals, research organisations, pharmaceutical, food, beverage and chemical industries. Universities, research institutes and industrial companies employ microbiologists to do basic, environmental, healthcare and agricultural research.

Microbiologists can also become faculty members in Universities, Colleges or teachers in Schools, etc. For college teaching, a master's degree may be acceptable along with qualification of CSIR - NET, but a doctorate opens more avenues.

Mon serrate Roman is a chief microbiologist at NASA. Good microbiologists are few in number and they are not only recruited by research laboratories or medical colleges but also by leading organizations like NASA to study the microbiology of the space environment for the research programs.

One can also successfully work as a microbiologist in food or beverage industries, as food spoilage, fermentation, production of yeasts have been of industrial importance.

One can also have a career at CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), where CDC microbiologists are recruited for various posts depending on their extent of training and experience. Microbiologists are also offered jobs at dairies where they look after the cleanliness of milk during processing and after pasteurization; at spice producers checking for fungal or mold contamination. Microbiologists are also in great demand at pharmaceuticals as almost all companies need some sort of control for their product.

For more advancement, microbiologists can undertake certification programs from India as well as abroad.

Biotechnology

COURSES	ELIGIBILITY	DURATION
MSc.( Biotechnology )	Graduate in related fields	2 years
BSc.( Biotechnology )	10+2 with PCB	3 years

Biotechnology may be as old as human civilization but modern biotechnology is less than three decades old. Traditional Biotechnology that led to the development of processes for producing products like yogurt, Vinegar, alcohol and cheese was entirely empirical and bereft of any understanding of the mechanisms that led to the product. There was no possibility of a deliberate design to produce a desired new product.

In modern biotechnology, we use the in- depth understanding we have gained in the last five decades. The mechanisms that underlie the variety of functions performed by living organisms, to produce a desired new or old product. In the case of an established product, the new biotechnological process is cheaper and better in many respects than the earlier processes.

Modern biotechnology has been, in fact, an historical imperative. Its emergence on the world scene was predicted at least four decades ago. No other country in the world today has the unique set of advantages that India offers for large-scale practice of biotechnology. We have one of the largest bio in the world. We also have one of the largest coastlines anywhere. We have at least seven distinct climatic zones and one of the largest and most varied sets of marine organisms anywhere. The ambient temperature in most parts of the country is just what living organisms need for their activities that result in a biotechnological product. This curtails immensely the cost of cooling or heating which becomes obligatory for the practice of biotechnology in most parts of the Western world. There are places on the Indian coast where there is uninterrupted sunshine for some 340 days in the year so that one can grow marine organisms in open raceways.

We have an enviable infrastructure and a large pool of trained manpower, with experience in most of the areas of biotechnology. Our labor and infrastructure costs are, perhaps, lower than anywhere else where biotechnology can be done and is being done, with the possible exception of China. We have large tracts of land available for growing the desired plants required for agriculture-based biotechnology. We have experience of building world-class institutions in virtually every sector of human endeavor - from outstanding basic research to efficient industrial production. We have, of course, many problems but we also know how to overcome them. In a nutshell the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. It is a pity that we started much later in biotechnology than we could have but, even now, the prospects for the future are bright.

Biochemistry

COURSES	ELIGIBILITY	DURATION
MSc.( Biochemistry )	Graduate in related fields	2 years
BSc.( Biochemistry )	10+2 with PCB	3 years

Biochemistry is a branch of life science which deals with the study of chemical reactions that occur in living cells and organisms. Life is a chemical process involving thousands of different reactions occurring in an organized manner. These are called metabolic reactions. The term Biochemistry was first introduced by the German Chemist Carl Neuberg in 1903.

It takes into account the studies related to the nature of the chemical constituents of living matter, their transformations in biological systems and the energy changes associated with these transformations.

Biochemistry may thus be treated as a discipline in which biological phenomena are analyzed in terms of chemistry.

The branch of Biochemistry for the same reason, has been variously named as Biological Chemistry or Chemical Biology.

Modern Biochemistry has two branches, descriptive Biochemistry and dynamic Biochemistry.

Descriptive Biochemistry deals with the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the various cell components and the dynamic Biochemistry deals with the elucidation of the nature and the mechanism of the reactions involving these cell components. Many newer disciplines have been emerged from Biochemistry such of Enzymology (study of enzymes), Endocrinology (study of hormones) Clinical Biochemistry (study of diseases), Molecular Biochemistry (Study of Biomolecules and their functions). Along with these branches certain other specialties have also come up such as Agricultural Biochemistry, Pharmacological Biochemistry etc.

Those who acquire a sound knowledge of Biochemistry can tackle the 2 central concerns of the biomedical sciences

	The understanding and Maintenance of Health.
	The understanding and Treatment of Diseases.

Objectives of Biochemistry

The major objective of Biochemistry is the complete understanding of all the chemical processes associated with living cells at the molecular level. To achieve this objective, biochemists have attempted to isolate numerous molecules (Bio molecules) found in cells, to determine their structures and to analyze how they function. Biochemical studies have illuminated many aspects of disease and the study of certain diseases have opened up new therapeutic approaches. In brief the objectives can be listed as follows:

	Isolation, structural elucidation and the determination of mode of action of biomolecules.
	Identification of disease mechanisms.
	Study of in born errors of metabolism
	Study of oncogenes in cancer cells
	The relationship of biochemistry with genetics, physiology, immunology, pharmacology, toxicology etc.

Biochemistry is related to almost all the life sciences and without biochemistry background and knowledge, a thorough understanding of health and well-being is not possible.
