What A-levels are needed for study in optometry?

I was wondering what subjects are absolutely needed for a degree in optometry, and if it is considered as full on medical study, also like what is included in a course like that, also the duration.

i think for most universities you need two from either: biology, chemistry, physics or maths then you can choose any subject for your third one

Id look on unis websites. They will give you the details of the course and what subjects/grades a re required to get onto the course.
Id assume that biology would be required/useful. Maybe either chemistry or maths (or maybe both).
