UCL business or City Optometry

I'm a resit student and I've got offers for optometry at city uni London and Business + Health at UCL (east), they're both AAB but I can't decide career wise which to choose. Although optometry would give a guaranteed job after graduation I've heard optometry is becoming oversaturated, pay is decreasing and it is slowly become an automated career (in some countries optometrists no longer exist, its all done by machines), as for business and health - I mean its business but its at UCL which has a higher rep so perhaps more employability? Does anyone have any advice to help me choose.

If you picked business what career would you go into , Whilst optometry does have its cons it most likely will not be taken over by machines completely in the next 10-15 years , salary is still good in smaller cities. I think the decision you make should be based on your future career path.
