Optometry Today feature looks at how eye care in Wales is changing

An article on the Optometry Today website looks at how the need to address long waiting times for eye treatment has prompted innovation in Wales.

The article includes comments from optometrist and chief optometric adviser for Wales, David O’Sullivan, OBE, optometrists, the Director of RNIB Cymru, Ansley Workman and patients. You can read it here.
