We champion the roles and expertise of optometrists
We do this by ensuring that:
- eye health stays high on the agenda of governments and health services in all four UK nations
- optometrists continue to be valued and recognised as a key healthcare profession
- optometrists' contribution to improving eye health across the four UK nations is recognised.
We achieve this by:
- responding to consultations and inquiries from governments, regulators and healthcare bodies on behalf of the profession
- advising governments and members of national parliaments on key optical topics
- representing the optometry profession and influencing activities and groups that shape the future of the profession across the UK
- raising awareness of the role of optometrists and the importance of good eye health.
