The issue with medicine isn't that you're not taking chemistry, it's that you're only taking one science subject. I think there are about 5 medical schools you'd meet the A-level subject requirements for - and if any or those are GCSE heavy you would need to write them off too.

Without physics or maths at least alongside biology you have a very limited range of medical schools you could potentially apply to.

Likewise I think most optometry courses require two sciences.

Yes this is true but I've seen a decent amount of unis accepting psychology as a second science for optom but less so with med but I dnt think I can get into med tbh too competitive

What are some biology related courses I could do

So there are in fact a total of 10 medical schools that would accept your combination of subjects: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5611422


Well fundamentally chemistry underpins most of modern biology so many biological science related courses require A-level Chemistry. Note that even those that do not will usually require you cover that material in the first year anyway. In a similar way, the artificial divide between the sciences and maths in school is just that, artificial - at degree level and beyond, the sciences are all necessarily mathematical and even if maths isn't required at A-level standard, you will usually have to develop maths beyond GCSE level and will need to be comfortable using maths routinely throughout the course and thinking quantitatively.

So I think the thing you need to start with is considering why you didn't take maths or other sciences at A-level and whether based on those reasons a science degree is a good idea. If you hate maths, are bad at other sciences, etc, then there's really not a compelling argument for continuing to a science degree. If you didn't realise that it would be relevant/necessary but did well in those subjects and have enjoyed them previously then it would probably be a case of looking at courses with a foundation year or similar, or those that don't require any background beyond a single science A-level (although I would contend, those requiring a foundation year for students in that situation are probably more academically rigorous and so better from that perspective).

I'm not good at maths but chemistry is fine for me i was originally doing it but dropped of because of family pressure 😭 my cousins all did bad in it so my fam basically kept telling me to drop it so I did

The only jobs I can think of for myself is medicine optometry and biomedical scientist
