Our mission

A collaborative network across academic optometry

Our mission is to establish a collaborative network of clinicians, scientists, and researchers to promote clinical excellence, research advancement and collegiality among the optometric community.

Members are optometrists or vision scientists who currently hold an academic appointment. Twelve academic sections are each overseen by a liaison, supported by optometric, surgical and visual science advisory committees.
