From quick google searches, Optometry has better pay, but this isn't an important factor as people can always own their own businesses which will easily surpass the other job's salary.

Job prospect I haven't researched physio, but seems like there is an increasing number of optometry graduates due to more unis offering the course (don't quote me on this, this job prospect was from memory from an article) and it seems that there are more opportunities in rural areas (obviously).
