Eminent optometrists are participating in the conference from other countries and more than 300+ delegates attending the conference. International Labour Organization (ILO) classified optometry as an independent profession under the Code No. 2267. The core of optometry has been the assessment of visual health and management strategies centred on spectacle lens and contact lens therapy. This core, however, has expanded greater over the past century to include a umber of other important clinical services with Education upto Ph.D. in optometry under UGC Gazette. These Professionals are providing services in a full range of practice optometry there by enhancing vision, protecting and preventing eye health. ‘According to WHO AND WORLD COUNCIL OF OPTOMETRY (WCO) blindness is increasing globally. Among the 7 causes of blindness are uncorrected refractive errors and cataracts are the leading cause. The majority of people with vision impairment and biindness are over the age of 50 years; however, vision loss can affect people of all ages. Vision impairment poses not only the enormous global financial burden with the annual global costs of productivity losses associated with vision impairment from uncorrected myopia and presbyopia alone estimated to be USS 244 billion and USS 25.4 billion but also has personal impact. Where young children with early on set can experience delayed motor, language, emotional, social and cognitive development with lifelong consequences. Blindness also affects the human behaviors. InIndia, at present the optometry professionals (OPTOMETRISTS) are higher in numbers than ophthalmology professionals (OPHTHALMOLOGISTS). Optometrists can help in sharing the load of primary eye care, enabling the ‘ophthalmologists to focus on surgical and medical procedures comfortably at large, whilst the optometrists could cater to all the diagnostic works, investigations and treatments at the primary eye care level for vision restoration, objective, subjective, refractions, retinoscopy, fundoscopy, orthoticspleoptics, low vision aids, minor eye ailments as primary eye healthcare practitioner. Despite current measures, blindness in the world is increasing by 2.2 million cases per year resulting in 100% increase in world blindness. So to achieve this, an optometry department is a must to have at every level of healthcare establishments like Hospitals, PHC, District Hospitals, Secondary Care Centres, Community Centres and ‘open more optometry education colleges in all Govt. Hospitals under the UGC-approved Universities, etc. To train the optometry workforce at large and appoint them under the National Prevention Control of Blindness (NPCB) and Nation Health Mission program to prevent more than 80% of avoidable blindness in the public interest at large. We believe that the theme for the NOC-2022 conference truly reflects the deliverables that DOA aims to provide to fellow optometrists. The conference will see an exchange of information on the latest developments in the optometry discipline along with discussions on the level of education and status of optometry in the international arena. A key outcome that we seek from this conference is to generate a better understanding of the NATIONAL IMPORTANCE OF OPTOMETRY SERVICES FOR PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS IN INDIA, through the optometry services in eradicating the 80% avoidable blindness in India and other countries. We realize that the key to success is to make these services economically viable and easily accessible to the common public. In_ continuation of the above, on behalf of the Executive Board & the Organizing Committee of the 12th NOC-2022.in view of the theme of the National Optometry Conference, the topics & abstracts or workshops will be ‘organized on the various critical points. The conference will include academic events like 6 hands on workshops on the latest topics like Myopia control, Binocular vision disorders, Ortho-K and Scleral contact lense, Optical dispensing, Biometry, Low vision and Corporate sessions. lam sure you will gain enough information from these esteemed speakers who will share their expertise, experience and passion during the conference and would not only add immense value to the DOA but also enrich the conference and its attendees, ‘ith Regan, 3 2 prenatal itnBea zat sree, vite WaT Py SPEAKER, LOK SABHA, INDIA — ip MESSAGE 11am pleased to know that the 12” National Optometry Conference (12" NOC 2022) is being organized by the Delhi Optometrists Association from 29” October to 30" October 22 at New Delhi on the theme "The National importance of Optometry Services for the Prevention of Blindness in India.” "Prevention of Blindness” is one of the important missions in world healthcare.

Optometry discipline has an important role in eye health services. Optometry and Ophthalmology are complimentary to each other where Optometrists play a vital role by being the first point of contact to patients. In last decade the roles of Optometrists have not been limited to only Refraction. They not only play significant dlnical and non-clinical role in various specialties and sub-specialties of eye care but also have extended roles as educators, Researchers, Project Managers, Manage Eye Bank, Quality and Community. They co-manage various clinical problems in an Institute and guide and refer the patients to specallized Ophthalmologists as and when required resulting into an improved productivity, decreased Patient service time and better patient satisfaction as a team. Optometrists have a very crucial role in providing eye care through their services to rural as well as urban population of the country. encourage the optometrists to explore and excel in the newer roles which can further enhance their competencies ‘and contributions for better patient services and productivity.
