Optometry and Primary Eye Care highlights the role of frontline eye-care services in vision assessment, refractive management, disease detection, contact lens care, and referral. The session promotes collaborative models of care, preventive practice, clinical optometry, binocular vision management, and innovations that strengthen accessible and effective eye-care delivery.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Submissions may cover optometric practice, eye examinations, refraction, contact lenses, binocular vision, early disease detection, referral pathways, collaborative care, and clinical outcomes. Optometrists, ophthalmologists, researchers, vision scientists, primary eye-care providers, and allied professionals are welcome to participate.
