𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐎𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 (BIOS) is urging changes to the Opticians Act to allow orthoptists to perform eye exams and prescribe glasses in hospital eye services (HES). This move aims to ease ophthalmology waiting lists, enhance patient care, and reduce costs.

BIOS assures this change would complement, not threaten, the optometry profession, aligning with NHS goals to improve service delivery. Discussions with key stakeholders are ongoing.

What are your thoughts on this decision? Could this be the solution to long waiting lists in ophthalmology?

The British and Irish Orthoptic Society is urging the GOC to review regulations around sight testing

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐲: 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.

Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," is a serious eye condition that can cause irreversible blindness. It progresses slowly and often without warning signs, which is why many people are unaware they have it until it’s too late. This year’s theme, 𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲, highlights the vital importance of early detection, regular eye check-ups, and public education in preventing vision loss.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞?
• Glaucoma doesn’t discriminate, anyone can be affected, but those over 40, with a family history of glaucoma, or with certain medical conditions are at higher risk.
• Early detection through routine eye exams can save your vision.
• Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, but timely treatment can stop it from progressing.

𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲:
• Schedule an eye exam, especially if you’re over 40 or have a family history of glaucoma.
• Share this information to educate others about glaucoma.
• Encourage friends and family to take their eye health seriously.

Your vision is precious, don’t wait until it’s too late.
