Priorities for eye health
The Association of Optometrists (AOP) has published Visionary change in eye health, setting out three policy recommendations for the next Government to ensure everyone is able to access specialist eye care when they need it and wherever they live, and to tackle the ophthalmology waiting list which is currently leading to avoidable irreversible sight loss. The actions are needed to fast-track the transformation of eye care for patients, as part of a renewed focus on primary care delivery.
