who earns more optometrist or physiotherapist

Subhrajit Mukherjee 13th Jan, 2022

There are both kind of professionals available in some cases the Physiotherapist earns more than Optometrist and some cases are there in which the Optometrist earn more than the Physiotherapist.

On some surveys available, the average salary for the Physiotherapist are greater than that of the Optometrist. So on an average the Physiotherapist earn more than the Optometrist. As a result, you can choose any of the course, but I would recommend you to choose the one which you are really interested in and not the one in which you see only money because to be great in a professional field, the passion matters the most. So choose your field wisely.
