If you want to be an optometrist in the hope of a good salary then don't do optometry, it doesn't pay well relative to other careers with similar lengths of qualification time, however if you are passionate about it and don't care about potentially low pay then Maths, Biology, Physics along with any other traditional academic subjects

At pre-reg possibly 18K to 25K, moving onto 28K to 32K in your first few years. With experience you can jump that up to +40K.

I have done research of optometrists earning 50K, but 40K is pretty much the average.
