I heard optometry contains all physics stuff rather than biology. is it true? coz than i won't be doing it.

At the moment my friend is taking physics & biology courses ...

....optometry even includes a bit of psychology.
and before someone asks why its such a high UAI to become an optometrist, its the only uni in NSW that offers it.

I've got friends in there - it seems to be a hard and demanding course.

definitely quit a bit of physics, as well as biology. its physics targeted at optometrists though, so you'd be learning the stuff relevant to you.

they say its interesting - though I don't know how interesting it could be when u start work.

one of my friend's failed a subject actually - so was doing part-time last semester (or year?). sounds tough...

Well I dont do physics, so would I be at a disadvantage if i went in with just a bridging course?

Shouldn't be, often they cover HSC stuff in first year anyway ...
