Good news for eye care job aspirants in Gujarat. The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB) has declared the final result for the Ophthalmic Assistant (Class-3) recruitment, bringing a long selection process to its final stage. The result was declared on Saturday, October 31, 2026, and the merit list is now available as a PDF on the board’s official website, gsssb.gujarat.gov.in.
The recruitment drive, advertised under Advertisement No. 344/202526, will fill 261 Ophthalmic Assistant posts across Gujarat. Candidates who appeared in the examination and completed document verification can now check whether their roll number or name figures in the final selection list.
How the final result was prepared
The final result has been prepared on the basis of two stages. First, candidates took the Multiple Choice Question-based Computer Based Recruitment Test (MCQ-CBRT). Those who cleared that stage then went through document verification, where their certificates and eligibility were checked against the recruitment rules.
Only candidates who completed both stages feature in the final list. The board has published the result in PDF format, so aspirants should download the document and search it carefully for their details rather than relying on screenshots or forwarded messages.
What an Ophthalmic Assistant does
Ophthalmic Assistants are the backbone of eye care services in government hospitals and clinics. Their day to day work includes:
- Conducting preliminary vision tests and refraction checks for patients
- Assisting ophthalmologists during eye examinations and minor procedures
- Operating and maintaining eye testing equipment
- Running vision screening camps and recording patient histories
- Guiding patients on spectacles, eye drops and follow up care
With eye care demand rising across the state, these 261 posts matter well beyond the selected candidates. Every filled post means shorter queues at eye clinics and faster screening for patients, especially in smaller towns where specialist doctors are stretched thin.

What selected candidates should do next
Selection in the final list is a major milestone, but it is not the last step. Selected candidates should keep their original documents ready, including educational certificates, identity proof and any category or experience certificates submitted during verification.
