“Optometrists are well-positioned to address many eye conditions in children, however, several countries limit the use of diagnostic drugs as per the latest WCO Global Survey on scope of practice,” - Dr. Yazan Gammoh, WCO Education Committee Chair This #WorldSightDay, we are focusing the world’s attention on the importance of eye care in young people. Unfortunately, because many refractive errors in children can remain undetected unless diagnostic agents are used, policies restricting optometrists' use of these diagnostic medications can delay early detection and management efforts.
