The Association of Optometrists (AOP) is the UK's leading membership organization for optometrists, supporting over 82% of practicing optometrists. It offers services like indemnity insurance, legal advice, continuing education, and political lobbying to protect the nation's eye health[3]. The AOP targets optometrists across various sectors, providing them with professional development opportunities and advocacy[1][3]. A unique selling proposition is its comprehensive support system, including a peer support line for mental health and career pressures[2]. This holistic approach sets it apart as a champion for both professional and personal well-being in the optometry field.
