There are significant variations in the scope of optometry practice in the Eastern Mediterranean Region countries and optometrists primarily provide basic eye care services. There is a need to widen the scope of optometry practice in the region and provide more comprehensive training and equipment support to enable optometrists to meet the diverse and evolving eye care needs.
