Diploma Optometric Refraction at SRK University trains students to conduct vision tests, diagnose common refractive errors, and fit corrective lenses — core skills for optometry assistant and optical retail roles. Running since 2016 with 50 seats, the programme addresses steady demand across hospital eye departments, standalone optical stores, and diagnostic eye care centres.
Graduates work alongside ophthalmologists in clinical settings or independently in optical retail, a sector that has grown steadily across Madhya Pradesh alongside rising screen-time-related vision issues and an ageing population needing corrective eyewear. The 2-year format gets students into the workforce faster than a full optometry degree, suited to students seeking practical, applied training over an extended academic route.
