I don't think you'll have much luck finding info on opt schools in India here. In the US/Canada you'll need a bachelors (or at least collegiate credits) to attain entrance, not the case in India.

Alas, this question got me curious, and I know why you posted this question, the web info on Indian opt schools is HORRIBLE! I can't find hardly anything. Here's some of the websites I found that have actual working links, maybe this will help in someway:

This site has a few emails you might be able to snag info from:

When u pass optometry in india Many many job opportunity are there.
Just visit optometry colleges websites in india. You will come to know india is still dont have required number of optometrist,
thus very less compitition and many job opportunity.

Become optometry teacher
work with doctors.
work in hospitals.
work in optical shops.
open Your own practice.
Corporte optometry and many more.

To the op: I volunteered as an pre-optometry student in Patna, Bihar and I found only ophthalmologists can prescribe glasses legally. That might be only for Patna, Bihar but I wanted to give you a heads up.
