Operating for more than two decades, Optometry Scotland is committed to advancing world-class eye care in the country. Our dedicated team works on behalf of our members to preserve the integrity of General Ophthalmic Services (GOS). This is done through lobbying for better support services, enhanced status for the Optometric and Dispensing professions, and sustainable funding mechanisms.
