Optical Confederation under review as Chris Hunt vacates chairman role

Association alliance, the Optical Confederation (OC), is facing an uncertain future following the announcement that chairman Chris Hunt is to step down when his two-year tenure ends later this month.

The Confederation has also placed itself under internal review and will consider how it can move forward with its development. No new replacement chair will be appointed until the review has been completed and the position will rotate around member bodies ABDO, the ACLM, AOP, FMO and FODO.

Hunt said: ‘I have greatly enjoyed my role as chairman of the OC and have gained a real insight into the ability of the member organisations to work together for the benefit of the sector and the patients we serve.
