Each year, WCO celebrates World Optometry Week (March 21-25) and World Optometry Day (March 23). WCO is excited to support our colleagues and increase awareness of optometry around the globe! This year, we are sharing a video series highlighting how the optometry community works towards addressing vision care needs worldwide, with each video focusing on a different WCO Region. Thank you to our regional representatives who have shared their thoughts:
- Mr. Frank Magupa | AFCO
- Dr. Carly Lam | APCO
- Dr. Rajeev Prasad | APCO
- Dr. Xuan Li Tan | APCO
- Dr. Carlos Chacón | ALDOO
- Prof. Edward Mallen | ECOO
- Mr. Ahmed Tairi | EMCO
- Dr. Roger Jordan | North America
We hope you can take these concepts and apply them in your work to help move optometry forward. While we celebrate World Optometry Day once a year, it is important to keep advocating for optometry and representing our profession to the best of your ability.
WCO wishes a happy World Optometry Day to all our colleagues around the globe!
