Professional Bodies and Optical Organisations

The General Optical Council is the statutory body which regulates the optical professions (dispensing opticians and optometrists). The GOC's main aims are to protect the public and promote high standards of professional conduct and education amongst opticians.

The education and training of optometrists and dispensing opticians is an important aspect of the GOC's work and manages all matters relating to optical training and examinations, including continuing and post qualification education.
