Is it better to pursue a major that is not necessarily focused on your post-undergrad plans?

For example, I'm interested in going into the optometry field after undergrad, but I'm not sure if I should take the more common route and major in biology, or biomedical sciences, or if I should just major in something that I would be happy doing if I don't end up doing optometry?
