World Optometry Day, March 23, highlights not only optometry as a health care profession, but the contribution of the profession in supporting access to eye health care as a human right. This year, the World Council of Optometry (WCO) will celebrate World Optometry Week from March 19–25, and specifically World Optometry Day, Thursday, March 23, with the theme “Expanding Optometry’s Role… The Time is Now!”
Additionally, to celebrate World Optometry Day on March 23, WCO encourages optometrists to download and share our “Committed to Eye Care” graphic, reaffirming the individual commitment of optometrists across the globe to advance accessible eye care.
