Moneo writes: We are the masters of our fate

We are living in momentous times as can clearly be seen from recent events in the UK parliament. The same can be said for our own profession. While there may be confusion and uncertainty in UK politics the same can not be said for optometry. There are, amidst all the uncertainty, two certainties currently for optometry in my opinion.

Firstly, given the announcements in the last spending round, there has not in recent years ever been more money available to the NHS than currently. Second, the inevitable use of online technology allowing people to self-refract and obtain a spectacle prescription without the services of an optometrist.
