<p>Here is a link to the admission requirements for every optometry program in the US:</p>

<p>It appears that most schools require 1 semester of micro and many require 1 semester of biochem.</p>
<p>So whichever biology course of study includes those 2 classes would be best for optometry school. (My guess it would be microbiology rather than molecular bio–which is typically focuses on genetics and cellular function.)</p>
